Yes - that's a non starter.  Add a flag to say it is necessary to
chip_info that doesn't rely on name matching.  If you do it the way
you have here, you have to add another strcmp for each new device
supported that needs this code to run.  Add a flag and you just
set that in the chip_info structure.  Much more flexible and extensible.
Usual description of this is "when you can do things with data rather than
code, do it with data".
