Make use of the cpp symbol DRIVER_NAME to set the driver's name and use it instead of all explicit usages of the same string. Also make use of it instead of sis5595_driver.driver.name which breaks a cyclic dependency between sis5595_probe() and sis5595_driver that in the next commit allows to drop some forward declarations.
