Uh :/ Why exactly is it needed in this initial submission?

Again, why do we need this in this initial submission? Why it can't be a
follow-up patchset to extend this? This way we never converge :/
Please focus on what we have now and bring it in. Let the extensions to
be addressed later on, please.

This is not meaningful, at all. dev_name() changes upon which pci slot
you plug the card into. package_label should be an actual label on a
silicon package. Why you think this two are related in aby way, makes me
really wonder. Could you elaborate the meaningfulness of this?
