When multiple Apple devices are connected concurrently, the
apple-mfi-fastcharge driver fails to probe the subsequent devices with
the following error:
sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/class/power_supply/apple_mfi_fastcharge'
apple-mfi-fastcharge 5-2.4.3.3: probe of 5-2.4.3.3 failed with error -17
This happens because the driver uses a fixed power supply name
("apple_mfi_fastcharge") for all devices, causing a sysfs name
conflict when a second device is connected.
Fix this by generating unique names using the USB bus and device
number (e.g., "apple_mfi_fastcharge_5-12"). This ensures each
connected device gets a unique power supply entry in sysfs.
The change requires storing a copy of the power_supply_desc structure
in the per-device mfi_device struct, since the name pointer needs to
remain valid for the lifetime of the power supply registration.

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 reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
