Do you have a real use-case for it? It'd expect that info to be at most
useful to the kernel side but not so much for user-space. FWIW, we came
to the conclusion with Marcel that a better approach with this
mgmt_ev_device_connected is to encode both the class and the name as an
EIR blob. We'll also do that for the class that's currently as a
separate parameter in mgmt_ev_device_found. This simplifies the
structure of both events and also allows for future extensibility.
