Re: [PATCH v3] driver core: Fix device link device name collision

The device link device's name was of the form:
<supplier-dev-name>--<consumer-dev-name>

This can cause name collision as reported here [1] as device names are
not globally unique. Since device names have to be unique within the
bus/class, add the bus/class name as a prefix to the device names used to
construct the device link device name.

So the devuce link device's name will be of the form:
<supplier-bus-name>:<supplier-dev-name>--<consumer-bus-name>:<consumer-dev-name>

The changes are missing for the error path and devlink_remove_symlinks(),
right?

This at least make the warning go away.
BUT, there is somesthing strange or at least I don't get it:

# find /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:00.0/ -name "consumer\:*"
# find /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:00.1/ -name "consumer\:*"
/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:00.1/consumer:mdio_bus:0000:00:00.1:04
/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:00.1/consumer:mdio_bus:0000:00:00.1

enetc0 (0000:00:00.0) has no consumers while enetc1 (0000:00:00.1)
has ones. Although both have PHYs connected. Here are the
corresonding device tree entries:

enetc0:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/fsl-ls1028a-kontron-sl28.dts?h=v5.11-rc2#n81

enetc1:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/fsl-ls1028a-kontron-sl28-var4.dts?h=v5.11-rc2#n21

Why is there a link between enetc1 and its PHY (and MDIO bus)
but not for enetc0?

btw, here are all links:
