[PATCH v1] sonypi: Stop setting acpi_device_name/class()

From: Rafael J. Wysocki

Date: Mon Jul 06 2026 - 08:38:59 EST


From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>

The driver sets acpi_device_name() and acpi_device_class() which are
never read afterward, so make it stop doing that.

No intentional functional impact.

This will facilitate the removal of device_name and device_class from
struct acpi_device_pnp in the future.
