A number of sub-device drivers used a static name for the sub-device, and thus the media entity. As the entity name must be unique within a media device, this makes it impossible to have more than one instance of each device in a media device. This is a rather severe limitation. Instead of fixing these drivers, add a comment to the drivers noting that such static names may not be used in the future. The alternative of fixing the drivers is troublesome as the entity (as well as sub-device) name is part of the uAPI. Changing that is almost certain to break something. As these devices are old but no-one has encountered a problem with the static names, leave it as-is.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
