Hi Ben,

could we modify the patch to apply the device name change on ppc64el only?

We could either trigger on "#if(_CALL_ELF == 2)" or "#ifdef __LITTLE_ENDIAN__":

        .driver = {
+#ifdef __LITTLE_ENDIAN__
+               .name = "of-display.0",
+#else
                .name = "of-display",
+#endif
                .of_match_table = offb_of_match_display,
        },
        .probe = offb_probe_display,

I'm attaching an updated patch. Could you use this one instead?

Thanks,
Adrian
