[PATCH] [PATCH]ASoC:blackfin:add ad73311 card driver name

[Scott Jiang]

ASoC doesn't copy codec name to card driver now.
ALSA lib need this info to find the proper card config.
So add card name in snd_soc_card, asoc will copy this name to snd_card.

Your changelog doesn't correspond to your code:

You're not adding a card name, you're adding a driver name, and the
existing card name already contains the name of the CODEC.  There
should already be enough information available to userspace to identify
that the card is a Blackfin card with ad73311.  Since the driver_name
you're setting only contains the name of the CODEC it looks likely to
cause more collisions anyway as other systems may use the same CODEC.

Yes, card name contains enough info, but alsa lib doesn't use it.
My alsa lib version is 1.0.24. It uses driver name to find card config
not short name nor long name.

It is a historical result. all cards config of blackfin in alsa lib
use these names.

one more question, I found nobody changed this in their drivers.
Do their cards config in alsa lib acctually take effect?
