I noticed that. A couple of the comedi drivers do this but it's not consistent.

Personally I don't care for the use of the DRV_NAME (or DRIVER_NAME
or whatever someone wants to call it) usage. It doesn't same any code
space and always makes me have to do a second search to see what the
"name" actually is.

Regardsless, if you prefer this in the drivers please let me know. It
would be nice to have them somewhat consistent before the comedi
support leaves staging.

Hartley
