> chan_mobile requires that each cell phone be defined in chan_mobile.conf with unique name (e.g. "iphone").  I observed that when presenting inbound caller ID information, chan_mobile always presents the name of phone that received the call instead of the name of the caller.  So a call from "John Smith" at 505-555-5555 is presented as a call from "iphone" at 505-555-5555.
> Looking into the source code, I see that hfp_parse_clip parses out the caller ID number, but does not attempt to parse out the optional caller ID name.  
> Later in the code, the ast_channel routine calls ast_channel_alloc to create the channel.  When it does this it provides the cell phone name (e.g. “iphone”) as the fourth parameter, where the caller ID name should really belong (or a null string if caller ID name is not provided, so the dial plan can use alternate databases to retrieve a name).
> These portions of the code have not changed in versions 14.x or 15.x, so the problem presumably also appears there, though I don't have an environment to test with.
> This is an initial issue report.  I intend to develop a patch that I will submit for review through Gerrit.
