What's the different between a hard-coded per-driver string and
dev_name()? I mean, doesn't the device name include the driver string?
Or do drivers require more fine-grained naming? Like chipset-specific
suffixes/prefixes in the busid?

Anyway, I'm fine with both and really like the approach of killing of
drm_bus. So all acked-by me.

Thanks
David
