Sigh, I now noticed that I missed the DT binding change when originally
forward porting the patches from the downstream ChromiumOS tree. I'm so
sorry about that.

ChromiumOS tree has in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mfd/cros-ec.txt:

Optional properties (All):
- devname: name of the EC. Can be based on its function: for instance,
for Sensor Hub, 'cros_sh', for Power Delivery MCU 'cros_pd'.
If not present, 'cros_ec' can be assumed.

When you say that normally device names are not allowed in DT, do you mean
that "devname" is a too generic property name? (which I totally agree) or
that DT bindings shouldn't have a property to change a device's name for
something more descriptive?

Because for example, the regulator bindings has a "regulator-name" property.
If you agree I can change the property to "google,cros-ec-name" which should
be more precise.

I see, so I should not set the struct mfd_cell .id to PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO and
just pass PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO to mfd_add_devices() so platform_device_add()
automatically allocates a device ID and sets pdev->id_auto = true.

It was only working because CROS_EC_DEV_EC_INDEX was zero so id + cell->id
was still PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO but for CROS_EC_DEV_PD_INDEX, it was set to
PLATFORM_DEVID_NONE...

I'll change that, thanks for pointing it out.
