Yes, this looks like the right thing to do to me. Also, I think the
original code is suspect because it causes the uevent data to be
different after binding a driver to a device.

Why different? The code matches (pdev->name == id->name) or
(pdev->name == driver->name) so in both cases it should be equal to
pdev->name.

Are you or Greg taking this?
