Well, that's rather different to what your patch did - I'd expect your patch would also be avoiding setting up all the not connected stuff on Panda. Perhaps what's needed is platform data (which can have a DT representation when that comes) which represents the differences and can include the name to use?
Ultimately this is the plan, but for 3.2 it would have been too big of a change. I just happen to had the DMIC support done locally first (will send it soon). Just reordered the patches, since we feel that 3.2 kernel would deserve fix for the Panda audio, and obviously the DMIC will go for 3.3.
I'd suggest just jumping straight to platform data now, making it mandatory and using that to grab the name. That'll be more ready for device tree and make life a bit easier for people carrying patches for further derivatives. The platform data can then be extended to support new features and a device tree binding added for it.
Please also fix the word wrapping in whatever mailer you're using.
