[PATCH v4] of: Make OF framebuffer device names unique

From: Rob Herring
Date: Wed Feb 01 2023 - 11:23:10 EST


From: Michal Suchanek <msuchanek@xxxxxxx>

Since Linux 5.19 this error is observed:

sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/platform/of-display'

This is because multiple devices with the same name 'of-display' are
created on the same bus. Update the code to create numbered device names
for the displays.

Also, fix a node refcounting issue when exiting the boot display loop.
