Specific problem: With the current code, multiple devices with the same driver work only if I take care: addressing by driver name gets me only the first, so I better set suitable IDs. With your patch, multiple devices with the same driver don't work, no matter what I do. 2. General principle: When I set an ID, I want the system to accept that ID in all contexts where it makes sense. Ambiguity created by badly chosen IDs is *my* problem.
