That's a driver problem. v4l_id gets information to build the persistent
name from the result of VIDIOC_QUERYCAP.
In the case of Exynos gsc driver, for example, the information is here:
static int gsc_m2m_querycap(struct file *file, void *fh,
struct v4l2_capability *cap)
{
struct gsc_ctx *ctx = fh_to_ctx(fh);
struct gsc_dev *gsc = ctx->gsc_dev;
strlcpy(cap->driver, GSC_MODULE_NAME, sizeof(cap->driver));
strlcpy(cap->card, GSC_MODULE_NAME " gscaler", sizeof(cap->card));
snprintf(cap->bus_info, sizeof(cap->bus_info), "platform:%s",
dev_name(&gsc->pdev->dev));
cap->device_caps = V4L2_CAP_STREAMING | V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_M2M_MPLANE |
V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_CAPTURE_MPLANE | V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_OUTPUT_MPLANE;
cap->capabilities = cap->device_caps | V4L2_CAP_DEVICE_CAPS;
return 0;
}
See that the bus_info there is filled with:
snprintf(cap->bus_info, sizeof(cap->bus_info), "platform:%s", dev_name(&gsc->pdev->dev));
From the output you printed, it seems that the i.MX6 is just doing:
snprintf(cap->bus_info, sizeof(cap->bus_info), "platform:");
for some devices.
If you change the i.MX6 driver to do the same, you'll likely be able to
have unique names there too.
