Your changelog doesn't correspond to your code:

You're not adding a card name, you're adding a driver name, and the
existing card name already contains the name of the CODEC.  There
should already be enough information available to userspace to identify
that the card is a Blackfin card with ad73311.  Since the driver_name
you're setting only contains the name of the CODEC it looks likely to
cause more collisions anyway as other systems may use the same CODEC.
