Well you can take that up with everyone else somewhere offlist, but the
standard naming being used for these devices as a group is mid_xxx, and
has been in the kernel several releases.

1. It needs a name that won't clash with anything else or confuse people

2. It shouldn't be exported in the first place but appearing in the PCI
data for the device.

If it must be exported then it definitely needs a rename.
