I noticed the unique name set to "adap->name" in i2c_designware_amdisp 
is getting overwritten to the generic "Synopsys DesignWare I2C adapter" 
name in i2c_dw_probe_master().

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-designware-master.c#L1046

Inorder to use unique name to detect the specific adapter without making 
changes in i2c-designware-master.c, I used adap->owner->name.

Since it is causing build issues when CONFIG_MODULES is not set, can I 
make a change in i2c-designware-master.c to initialize the generic 
"Synopsys DesignWare I2C adapter" name only when adap->name is NULL. 
This way I should be able to pass the unique name from 
i2c_designware_amdisp module.

Please suggest if this approach is okay?

Thanks,
Pratap
