I think it would be better if the driver modules that call this function
already had pci_driver->name initialized statically.

I agree, but this is how all the pci drivers do it now.

To change this will require auditing all the comedi pci drivers and adding
the static name.

But if you're going to be calling this function from those drivers anyway, you might as well add the static names at the same time! Saves another round of patches.
