Hi Sylvain
I'm not sure this is a good idea. It probably breaks my boards:
:/sys/class/mdio_bus# ls
!mdio-mux!mdio@1!switch@0!mdio 0.1 0.4 400d0000.ethernet-1 fixed-0
!mdio-mux!mdio@2!switch@0!mdio 0.2 0.8 400d1000.ethernet-2 mv88e6xxx-0
np->name is not unique, where as np->full_name is unique.
However, i can understand your problem with truncation. Maybe a better
solution is to detect if truncation is going to happen. If so, use a
concatenation of a hash of np->full_name, and the right hand part of
np->full_name?
