If there are 2 perf domains for a device or group of devices, there must
be something unique about each of these domains. Why can't the firmware
specify the uniqueness or the difference via the name?

The example above seems firmware is being just lazy to update it. Also
for the user/developer/debugger, the unique name might be more useful
than just this number.

So please use the name(we must now have extended name if 16bytes are less)
to provide unique names. Please stop working around such silly firmware
bugs like this, it just makes using debugfs for anything useful harder.
