I think it's worth mentioning about the use case in this patch as well,
something like:
"This call will always be made while holding the RTNL which ensures
that the SFP driver won't unbind from the device. The returned pointer
to the bus name will only be used while RTNL is held."

Please move this to just below sfp_bus_del_upstream() since the
functions in this file are organised as:
- internal functions
- upstream callable functions
- downstream (sfp driver) callable functions.
Note also that the upstream callable functions are all documented with
kerneldoc, and sfp_get_name() is clearly a function called from the
upstream side.
Thanks.
