When you repost to fix the build issue, can you capitalize the subject
line to match the other?

Also, would you mind using "pci_dev.driver" instead of
"pci_dev::driver"? AFAIK, the "::" operator is not actually part of
C, so I think it's more confusing than useful.

Can we just do this?

if (pdev)
return dev_driver_string(&pdev->dev);

return "<null>";

I think it's more complicated than it's worth to include a strcmp().
It's possible this will change those error messages about "Might be
infinite loop in %s driver", but that doesn't seem like a huge deal.

I moved Oliver to "to:" and added Russell in case they object.

Again seems more complicated than it's worth to me. This is in the
driver's .probe() method, so really_probe() has already set
"dev->driver = drv", which means dev->driver is always set to
&bcma_pci_bridge_driver here, and bcma_pci_bridge_driver.name is
always "bcma-pci-bridge".

Almost all callers of pci_request_regions() just hardcode the driver
name or use a DRV_NAME #define

So I think we should just do:

err = pci_request_regions(dev, "bcma-pci-bridge");

Also seems like more trouble than it's worth. This one is a little
strange but is always called for either b43_pci_bridge_driver or
b44_pci_driver, both of which have .name set, so I think we should
simply do:

err = pci_request_regions(dev, dev_driver_string(&dev->dev));
