driver: dont update dev_name via device_add path
notice one system /proc/iomem some entries missed the name for pci_devices
it turns that dev->dev.kobj name is changed after device_add.
for pci code: via acpi_pci_root_driver.ops.add (aka acpi_pci_root_add)
==> pci_acpi_scan_root is used to scan pci bus/device, and at the same
time we read the resource for pci_dev in the pci_read_bases, we have
res->name = pci_name(pci_dev); pci_name is calling dev_name.
later via acpi_pci_root_driver.ops.start (aka acpi_pci_root_start) ==>
pci_bus_add_device to add all pci_dev in kobj tree. pci_bus_add_device
will call device_add.
actually in device_add
/* first, register with generic layer. */
error = kobject_add(&dev->kobj, dev->kobj.parent, "%s", dev_name(dev));
if (error)
goto Error;
will get one new name for that kobj, old name is freed.
