PCI: shpchp: Rename duplicate slot name N as N-1, N-2, N-M...
Commit ef0ff95f136f0f2d035667af5d18b824609de320 (shpchp: fix slot name)
introduces the shpchp_slot_with_bus module parameter, which was intended
to help work around broken firmware that assigns the same name to multiple
slots.
Commit b3bd307c628af2f0a581c42d5d7e4bcdbbf64b6a (shpchp: add message about
shpchp_slot_with_bus option) tells the user to use the above parameter
in the event of a name collision.
This approach is sub-optimal because it requires too much work from
the user.
Instead, let's rename the slot on behalf of the user. If firmware
assigns the name N to multiple slots, then:
The first registered slot is assigned N
The second registered slot is assigned N-1
The third registered slot is assigned N-2
The Mth registered slot becomes N-M
In the event we overflow the slot->name parameter, we report an
error to the user.
This is a temporary fix until the entire PCI core can be reworked
such that individual drivers no longer have to manage their own
slot names.
