Change the driver name string used in data structures, kernel messages,
etc. from "ni6527" to "ni_6527" to match the module name.  Use a macro
`DRIVER_NAME` that expands to this string literal.

Just my opinion... I hate this macro... Whenever it's used I always end up
searching the source to see what the actual "name" is.

For this case, I think using 'dev->board_name' is a better choice.

Maybe. There's plenty of tidying up still to do on these drivers, but that wasn't my main goal in this set of patches.

Again, using 'dev->board_name' seems better.

Doesn't matter as the function is removed in patch 05. :)
