I'm fine with that too.  What about :-

1) Shortname is board/machine name. This can come from DMI or device
tree. e.g. "Asus T100"

2) Long name is 1 + driver name + optional firmware name. (I've just
added the FW name here too as we can have potentially > 1 FW per driver
- BYT is an example) e.g. "Asus T00: byt-rt5640: IntSST1.bin".

3) Driver name is driver_name. e.g. "byt-rt5640"

(The string name combinations above are not from a real machine but just
for example.)
