Subject: [PATCH v1] driver core: Change delimiter in devlink device's name to "--"
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2020 11:05:22 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200724180523.1393383-1-saravanak@google.com> (raw)
The devlink device name is of the form "supplier:consumer". But ":" is
fairly common in device names and makes it visually hard to distinguish
supplier and consumer. So, replace it with "--" to make it easier.
