driver core: Fix device link device name collision
The device link device's name was of the form: <supplier-dev-name>--<consumer-dev-name> This can cause name collision as reported here [1] as device names are not globally unique. Since device names have to be unique within the bus/class, add the bus/class name as a prefix to the device names used to construct the device link device name. So the devuce link device's name will be of the form: <supplier-bus-name>:<supplier-dev-name>--<consumer-bus-name>:<consumer-dev-name> [1] - https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201229033440.32142-1-michael@walle.cc/ Fixes: 287905e68dd2 ("driver core: Expose device link details in sysfs") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reported-by: Michael Walle <michael@walle.cc> Tested-by: Michael Walle <michael@walle.cc> Signed-off-by: Saravana Kannan <saravanak@google.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210110175408.1465657-1-saravanak@google.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
