Make use of the cpp symbol DRIVER_NAME to set the driver's name and also as name for devm_request_region(). While at it add a module alias using the new define. This is a preparation for the next cleanup commit that removes a cyclic dependency between pc87360_driver (which references pc87360_probe in .probe) and pc87360_probe() (which used pc87360_driver.driver.name).
