But if iio_dev->name is supposed to be the "model name" then setting it
to the i2c dev_name is just plain wrong, right? Correcting this could be
considered a bugfix.

There are also other ways to deal with this in userspace. Perhaps you
could look at $(basename $(readlink /sys/bus/i2c/devices/*/driver))?
