Actually, in this specific case I would not use v4l2_device_set_name().
Instead just use:
snprintf(dev->v4l2_dev.name, sizeof(dev->v4l2_dev.name),
"%s-%u", BM2835_MMAL_MODULE_NAME, camera);
It would be even better if there would be just one top-level v4l2_device used
for all the camera instances. After all, there really is just one platform
device for all of the cameras, and I would expect to see just a single
v4l2_device as well.
It doesn't hurt to have multiple v4l2_device structs, but it introduces a
slight memory overhead since one would have been sufficient.
v4l2_device_set_name() is meant for pci-like devices. And it really
is a bit overkill to have it as a helper function.

Hans
