So, this ends up with the identical strings for both driver and shortname? This doesn't sound like an improvement.
Basically, hard-coded strings can be replaced by strings read from config-rom on the devices. My original intension of this commit is following to this.
But FWSpeakers/FireWave has long strings for vendor/model strings on config-rom, therefore his commit can obsolete long name only.
Actually this patch is a help for later patch: [PATCH 26/30] ALSA: oxfw: Add support for Behringer/Mackie devices http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2014-November/084818.ht...
But still it's not applied to LaCie and other that have device_info, no? So they'll end up with the even shorter names than now.
I'd be better to create a short_name from "Vendor Model" where driver_name can be a fallback of model name.
Any reasons?
