[PATCH 33/75] Fix Firmware class name collision

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: Markus Rechberger <markus.rechberger@xxxxxxx>

following patch fixes the i2c name collision with i2c-dev.

This issue has been experienced with em28xx and saa7133 based devices.
I discussed that problem with Jean Delvare a while ago and he proposed
to add a prefix to the class name.
