[PATCH] serdev: Get serdev controller's name by dev_name()

[PATCH] serdev: Get serdev controller's name by dev_name()

[Zijun Hu]

From: Zijun Hu <quic_zijuhu@quicinc.com>

serdev_controller_add() uses hardcoded serdev controller's name, and that
may be wrong once user changes the name after serdev_controller_alloc().

Fix by using dev_name() instead of hardcoded name.

dev_dbg() already has the name in it, so why repeat it again?

i guess the author wants to print a sentence which is easy to read.

for built in name of dev_dbg(), it always happens at fixed location
and not where good sentence wants.

actually. drivers/tty/serdev/* have other such usages, for example.

dev_dbg(&serdev->dev, "device %s registered\n", dev_name(&serdev->dev));
dev_err(&serdev->dev, "Can't add %s, status
%pe\n",dev_name(&serdev->dev), ERR_PTR(err));

Then those should also be fixed.
