They could be multiple reserved memory regions,
so let's make their names unique.

This fixes following kernel error:

[ 9.831285] sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/bus/nvmem/devices/rmem0'

could you please provide more background information:

- are two instances of rmem trying to create this file?
- which exact platform is affect (Raspberry Pi 4), because the Hardware name
from the trace is useless?
- could you provide some reliable scenario/config to reproduce this issue?

I was sure your will be asking. :-)

I am using RPi4[0] for testing this. Device tree is based on sources
from here [1]. From this devicetree it is obvious what is happening.

Thanks for clarifying. Unfortunately this file is not identical to the mainline file, so the issue can only be triggered with the vendor DTB?


Unfortunately right now SUSE Bugzilla is under maintenance, so perhaps you
can't see the bug report [2]. In brief I am using latest Tumbleweed on this
device and you can imagine that error is happening always.

Ivan
