There didn't seem to be a good reason to require that the driver name
match the first device ID.  What should the driver be named if it was
for two or more different types of Xenbus device? And not all drivers
did this anyway.

However, we could do:

  drv->driver.name = drv->name ? drv->name : drv->ids[0];

What that resolve your concern?
