[Issue]
A format of variable name has been updated to type, id, count and ctime
to support holding multiple logs.
Format of current variable name
dump-type0-1-2-12345678
type:0
id:1
count:2
ctime:12345678
On the other hand, if an old variable name before being updated
remains, users can't read it via /dev/pstore.
Format of old variable name
dump-type0-1-12345678
type:0
id:1
ctime:12345678
[Solution]
This patch adds a format check for the old variable name in a read callback
to make it readable.
