It doesn't do that. I have to say that given the use of dev_name() in
logging it does feel like it'd be useful to have distinct names for
grepping if we're running into collisions, IIRC the reason I went with
dev_name() was that it's a commonly used human readable handle for
diagnostic infrastrucuture so it makes it easier to follow things around.
