See the difference of drm_device->devname:

Before:
20 34 32 3a 20 20 20 20  31 34 30 35 34 36 32 20  | 42:    1405462 |
20 20 20 31 37 32 38 33  30 32 20 20 20 50 43 49  |   1728302   PCI|
2d 4d 53 49 2d 65 64 67  65 20 20 20 20 20 20 69  |-MSI-edge      i|
39 31 35 40 70 63 69 3a  30 30 30 30 3a 30 30 3a  |915@pci:0000:00:|
30 32 2e 30 0a                                    |02.0.|

After:
20 34 32 3a 20 20 20 20  31 30 30 33 32 39 32 20  | 42:    1003292 |
20 20 20 31 32 31 32 38  39 30 20 20 20 50 43 49  |   1212890   PCI|
2d 4d 53 49 2d 65 64 67  65 20 20 20 20 20 20 ef  |-MSI-edge      .|
bf bd 73 ef bf bd ef bf  bd ef bf bd ef bf bd 3a  |..s............:|
30 30 30 30 3a 30 30 3a  30 32 2e 30 0a           |0000:00:02.0.|

Any idea what "ef bf bd" pattern could be? And who *shifts* the
"0000:00:02.0" string?

thanks,
