Hi Marek

The naming in probe appears to be different to the rest of the
driver. Normally dev is a strict net_device. Here it is a struct
device and ndev is a net_device. Sometimes netdev is also used.

It might be a bigger change than what you want to do, but it would be
nice if it was consistent everywhere.
