Pls note, that this patch contains both changes in platform and driver 
code to fix regression reported by Sekhar Nori on v2 of this series and 
caused by driver name changing.

It can be splitted, but then both patches will introduce regression by 
itself and thing will work only if both of them will be applied together.
