Subject: [PATCH 2/4] driver core: use string format when name is given to an exported function

Many functions that are directly or indirectly exported use a given name
as parameter (or as a member of a struct parameter) as the format when
setting the device's name. Using the string specification format avoids
a possible NULL dereference in some cases and a invalid format
processing in other cases. These are easily done since the functions are
exported and some module or driver could give a NULL or a string format
as a name.
