It's both :P

The string is compared to the driver_name field (or what was the name)
to see if the device is DRIVER_MALIDP, and if the function pointer is
not set, the string is also used for modprobe().

So the string should be the device's driver_name, and the function
pointer set to a function that loads the .ko if the module name is
different.
