Subject: [PATCH 5.9 020/391] firmware: arm_scmi: Fix duplicate workqueue name

From: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit b9ceca6be43233845be70792be9b5ab315d2e010 ]

When more than a single SCMI device are present in the system, the
creation of the notification workqueue with the WQ_SYSFS flag will lead
to the following sysfs duplicate node warning:

 sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/virtual/workqueue/scmi_notify'
 CPU: 0 PID: 20 Comm: kworker/0:1 Not tainted 5.9.0-gdf4dd84a3f7d #29
 Hardware name: Broadcom STB (Flattened Device Tree)
 Workqueue: events deferred_probe_work_func

 	register things with the same name in the same directory.
 arm-scmi brcm_scmi@1: SCMI Notifications - Initialization Failed.
 arm-scmi brcm_scmi@1: SCMI Notifications NOT available.
 arm-scmi brcm_scmi@1: SCMI Protocol v1.0 'brcm-scmi:' Firmware version 0x1

Fix this by using dev_name(handle->dev) which guarantees that the name is
unique and this also helps correlate which notification workqueue corresponds
to which SCMI device instance.
