IIUC, you are replacing of_flat_dt_get_machine_name and
of_machine_get_model_name does exactly same. So I don't see any point in
adding this new function and it's just used for logging purpose.
Also Sekhar just gave example by using just compatible adding that
function in the driver itself.

As Arnd suggested me[1], you should for v4.10 fix it in the driver 
itself to avoid the cross tree dependencies at this point similar to [2]
