It's easy to work around (may be better fix can be found, haven't checked, just
what first comes to my mind):

	match ...
	name = match->name;

	/* If enumerated via firmware node, fix the ABI */
	if (dev_fwnode())
		client->name

Much better with a coccinelle. You will find all or almost all occurrences
without too much effort done.
