    firmware: arm_ffa: Fix FFA device names for logical partitions · 19b87664
    Sudeep Holla authored
    Each physical partition can provide multiple services each with UUID.
    Each such service can be presented as logical partition with a unique
    combination of VM ID and UUID. The number of distinct UUID in a system
    will be less than or equal to the number of logical partitions.
    
    However, currently it fails to register more than one logical partition
    or service within a physical partition as the device name contains only
    VM ID while both VM ID and UUID are maintained in the partition information.
    The kernel complains with the below message:

    By virtue of being random enough to avoid collisions when generated in a
    distributed system, there is no way to compress UUID keys to the number
    of bits required to identify each. We can eliminate '-' in the name but
    it is not worth eliminating 4 bytes and add unnecessary logic for doing
    that. Also v1.0 doesn't provide the UUID of the partitions which makes
    it hard to use the same for the device name.
    
    So to keep it simple, let us alloc an ID using ida_alloc() and append the
    same to "arm-ffa" to make up a unique device name. Also stash the id value
    in ffa_dev to help freeing the ID later when the device is destroyed.
