[ Upstream commit 0759e77a6d ]
The MIDI substream name string is constructed from the combination of
the card shortname (which is taken from USB iProduct) and the USB
iJack. The problem is that some devices put the product name to the
iJack field, too. For example, aplaymidi -l output on the Lanchkey MK
49 are like:
% aplaymidi -l
Port Client name Port name
44:0 Launchkey MK4 49 Launchkey MK4 49 Launchkey MK4
44:1 Launchkey MK4 49 Launchkey MK4 49 Launchkey MK4
where the actual iJack name can't be seen because it's truncated due
to the doubly words.
For resolving those situations, this patch compares the iJack string
with the card shortname, and drops if both start with the same words.
Then the result becomes like:
% aplaymidi -l
Port Client name Port name
40:0 Launchkey MK4 49 Launchkey MK4 49 MIDI In
40:1 Launchkey MK4 49 Launchkey MK4 49 DAW In
A caveat is that there are some pre-defined names for certain
devices in the driver code, and this workaround shouldn't be applied
to them. Similarly, when the iJack isn't specified, we should skip
this check, too. The patch added those checks in addition to the
string comparison.
