Example in pseudo code:

cells = {
 [0] = { .id = 0, .name = "moduleX", },
 [1] = { .id = 1, .name = "moduleY", },
 [2] = { .id = 2, .name = "moduleZ", },
 ...
};

mfd_add_devices(..., PLATFORM_DEVID_NONE, cells, ARRAY_SIZE(cells),
...);

Output (names of the devices in the drivers):
"moduleX"
"moduleY.0"
"moduleX.1"

Desired output:
"moduleX"
"moduleY"
"moduleZ"

Is it by design?
