I’m not following the __stringify assumption, but I do get your point about
the driver_data being a valid index into the array; that was already baked
into the code, as

		dev_warn(&client->dev,
			 "Device mismatch: Configured %s, detected %s\n",
			 client->name,
			 ltc2978_id[data->id].name);

but I’ll fix both.

Similar assumptions are present in other drivers here IIRC, I’ll fix those
too.
