Marc, Can you recheck the behavior once on the latest master to see if this patch is still needed? I see a new patch within the regmap core that is dealing with the delayed debugfs registration name. This follows the similar design logic I suggested on your initial submission [1]. Please see commit 94cc89eb8fa5 ("regmap: debugfs: Fix handling of name string for debugfs init delays") in mainline. Lee, I haven't seen this patch in -next yet, so maybe worthwhile to hold it a little longer. regards Suman [1] https://patchwork.kernel.org/comment/23575471/
