The driver uses the string "slcan" to populate tty_ldisc_ops::name. Add a new macro DRV_NAME which evaluates to "slcan" and then use DRV_NAME and to get rid on the hardcoded string names. Similarly, the pr_info() and pr_err() hardcoded the "slcan" prefix. Define pr_fmt so that the "slcan" prefix gets automatically added.
