The callers of __scsi_print_sense do not always pass in a name
like "sda".  In fact, sd.c doesn't even call that function; its
sd_print_sense_hdr calls sd_printk (which prints name as "[%s]")
and scsi_show_sense_hdr.

There are just 3 kernel files that call this function:
osst.c:                 __scsi_print_sense("osst ", SRpnt->sense, SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE);
osst.c:                 __scsi_print_sense("osst ", SRpnt->sense, SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE);
There is a separate call to printk just before each of those,
which prints out the name, without [].

sg.c:                   __scsi_print_sense(__func__, sense,
That's printing the C function name.

st.c:                    __scsi_print_sense(name, SRpnt->sense, SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE);
st.c:                   __scsi_print_sense(name, SRpnt->sense, SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE);
This is more like what you have in mind.
