What alternatives do you see? Parent device name?

I did a scan to see what others are doing, and most have a consumer name
lookup on the struct device (Device Tree or lookup tables):

struct reset_control *__reset_control_get(struct device *dev, const char
*id,
					  int index, bool shared,
					  bool optional, bool acquired);

struct iio_channel *iio_channel_get(struct device *dev,
				    const char *consumer_channel);

struct regulator *__must_check regulator_get(struct device *dev,
					     const char *id);

struct pwm_device *pwm_get(struct device *dev, const char *con_id)

struct gpio_desc *__must_check gpiod_get(struct device *dev,
					 const char *con_id,
					 enum gpiod_flags flags);

SPI and I2C use the bus index as lookup:

extern struct i2c_adapter *i2c_get_adapter(int nr);

extern struct spi_controller *spi_busnum_to_master(u16 busnum);
