Since you do not control the lifetime of the files, the above may not be
guaranteed. So, this path is just an arbitrary information from the past.
It _was_ consistent with the request, but it does _not_ mean it still is.

I would rely on the chip name, which is provided by the DT/driver, if
possible.
