Default the dev->board_name to the dev->driver->driver_name before

drivers without additional boardinfo do not have to set the
dev->board_name pointer.

For the legacy comedi_device_attach(), if `dev->board_ptr` is non-NULL (as set by comedi_recognize()), `*(const char *)dev->board_ptr` will point to the board name string (see comment below for code details). This would also allow the setting of `dev->board_name` to be eliminated from a lot of the legacy drivers.

This could be done in a follow-up patch.

(That will probably fit in 2 lines for 80 columns.)
