For the compatible behavior, we can keep it empty like the patch
below.  It wasn't set in the earlier versions.

Alternatively, driver name can be deduced from shortname by replacing
invalid characters.  In general, it shouldn't contain space letters and
special letters like parentheses.

But, driver_name should override if defined, and ASoC stuff has worked
well without driver name setup, we can keep it empty as default, I guess.


thanks,

Takashi
