It's not, you should never see this in a production system.


Sorry, can you clarify what exactly "this" refers to here?

Maybe ask that question on the regulator mailing list.

I can't really tell what the issue is here without more context, the
global name list should not be relevant for much in a system that's well
configured so it sounds like it's user error.

My initial attempt I guess followed the existing ltc2978 code a little too closely and I ended up with all my lm25066 regulators registered under the same (static) name, so when I went to attach the reg-userspace-consumer instances to them by way of that name I got this:

# ls -l /sys/kernel/debug/regulator/7-004?-vout0
/sys/kernel/debug/regulator/7-0040-vout0:

-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 1 1970 open_count
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 1 1970 use_count

(When of course the intent is to have one reg-userspace-consumer for each regulator.)

I now have a revised version that takes Guenter's comments into account and puts this logic in the lm25066 driver instead of the pmbus core though, and in the process arrived at what I expect is a better solution to the name-collision problem at least (below).

Thanks,
Zev
