Sounds good!

However, the majority of this patch seems to be the change to a (const)
enum value, which you then convert to a string to generate the
non-number component of the device name.

Does:

       dev_set_name(&scom->dev, "%s%d", fsi_get_dev_type_name(fsi_dev_scom), didx);

have much of a benefit over:

       dev_set_name(&scom->dev, "scom%d", didx);

?

Cheers,


Jeremy
