I don't think this is cheating at all. It allows us to use the DPRINTK

it prints "Bus:dev:Fn: blah" which is pretty useful, IMO. If you have
any ideas about how to do this better we're open to them. This solves a
very specific problem for us.
I never said I didn't understand the change. I fully understand why its
done, but that does not excuse clear abuse of an API. netdev->name
should never be anything but the interface name.
Other drivers either have special pre-if-register printk prefixes, or
they have a pointer priv->msg_name that always points to the correct value.
