Subject: [PATCH v1] 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>

Michael,

Can you please test this? This should fix your issue.

Having said that, do you have some local DT changes when you are testing
this? Because it's not obvious from the DT in upstream what dependency
is even being derived from the firmware. I don't see any dependency in
upstream DT files between mdio_bus/0000:00:00.1 and
pci0000:00/0000:00:00.1

Thanks,
Saravana
