Some places in the kernel allow users to map resources to a device
using device name (for example, gpiod_lookup_table). Currently
this involves waiting for the i2c_client to have been registered so we
can use dev_name(&client->dev). Adding this function means that we can
achieve the same thing without having to wait to the i2c device.
