In this particular case, perhaps, not. However, this automagic is used not only with GPIOs. It is used also with memory regions, as well as with some other places. Also, i thought that there could be some hard to notice problems, when, for example, we first add unnamed-gpio-in[0...1023], then add another 1024 pins, where count again goes from 0 to 1023. And we would get collision and failure, unless we know, that we already have 1024 objects with this name. So, just for better safety, i decided to fix the mechanism itself instead of changing use cases. Kind regards, Pavel Fedin Expert Engineer Samsung Electronics Research center Russia
