Hi Mahesh,
Thanks for sharing your opinion. I think I already answered this
replying to your review of patch 2/2 of this series.
To summarize that up I think there is a misunderstanding on the
meaning of "dev" param, and "name" param (which is the default) must
be used instead in the cases highlighted in your commit.

Regards,
Andrea
