I did not mean using the enum value as index, just make an array of
simple structs:

struct bcma_device_name {
	unsigned int id;
	const char *name;
};

struct bcma_device_name bcma_device_names = {
	{ BCMA_CORE_OOB_ROUTER, "Out of band router" },
	{ BCMA_CORE_INVALID,	"Invalid" },
	...
};

The data size for this should be way smaller than the code needed
to represent the whole function otherwise, and be more readable.
