Nitpick, is there any way to get the pci_driver name here instead of the
open coded string?
Sure, we could use `adv_pci_dio_pci_driver.name` (except it hasn't been
declared yet at that point), or `pcidev->driver->name`. It's only used
transiently though, so it doesn't matter much what string we use.
Like I said, it's just a pitpick.
I still would use pdidev->driver->name instead of the open coded string.
It saves a couple bytes and if the driver name ever changes they would
still match. Call it a pet peeve of mine... ;-)
I don't know if it uses more or fewer bytes (loading an immediate
address versus a couple of indirect indexed references) although the
difference wouldn't be much. The compiler should optimize identical
string literals to share the same storage.
