This needs to be done carefully. This string is referred in alsa-lib
to pick up the the configuration file. So, this change shall break
the compatibility.
If we ever want to pick up a different alsa-lib configuration
depending on each line6 driver type, then yes, we should give the
individual driver name. If we want to keep rather the common
configuration file (so far there is none, but if any in furture), then
we should keep the common driver name.
And, the decision must be done now. From now on, basically we are not
allowed to break the user-space compatibility. That is, this is the
very last chance to do it.
If your patch is supposed to do it with these consideration, I'm
willing to take. But, I guess it's not, because you chose the string
like "Line 6 POD". This is usually not ideal as a driver name; think
of $DRIVER.conf file that is used for alsa-lib configuration.
So, from that POV, "line6usb" is no bad name string. If we want
differentiate per driver, a name like "Line6-Pod" or just "Pod" would
be more appropriate.
