Subject: [PATCH v1] platform/surface: surfacepro3_button: Stop setting acpi_device_name()
The driver sets acpi_device_name() to initialize an input class device
name initialization and print a message on probe success, but the input
class device name can be set directly to the "Surface Pro 3/4 Buttons"
string literal and used for printing the message.
Make the driver do so, stop setting acpi_device_name() in it and drop
the symbol specifically defined for this purpose.
No intentional functional impact.
This will facilitate the removal of device_name from struct
acpi_device_pnp in the future.

v1 -> v2:
* Use input->name for printing the final message in
surface_button_probe() (Andy)
* Add R-by from Yu
