From 35f3da32af0e8970cc41288d4a7e3bd32399900e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benoit Cousson Date: Mon, 5 Dec 2011 15:23:55 +0100 Subject: of/address: Add reg-names property to name an iomem resource Add a reg-names property to allow for reg regions to be reference by name instead of by index. Some devices have multiple register regions which are more naturally referenced by name. If the name is available, use it to name the resource when creating a devices. Otherwise keep the device name.
