Could you tell me the reason?
When registering a device the Linux device core that the id and name are unique. If you change them behind the back of the core there is no guarantee that they are still unique and undefined behavior might occur. Also changing them can cause all kind of other weird behavior, e.g. the name no longer matches the name of the sysfs files, etc.
