I assume that by "platform driver" you mean the machine driver for the
system? What I'm saying is that instead of using a string to match it'd
be more normal to use an enum in the driver header, that way if someone
typos the string or something then there will be a build failure whereas
with strings like this there will only be a runtime failure.
Part of the problem here is that your changelogs aren't really saying
why you're making these changes...
