That one is actually fine (if not very pretty) because the driver only supports one part and it happens
to also be the name of the driver.

Also only one part supported, so fine if liable to accidentally get broken if we support more parts.

Again, one part supported and the driver has the same name.

So, the real point here is not the value being assigned but the fact it's
explicitly linked to the name of the driver. I'd argue that you could use
VCNL_NAME as the define and that link is clearly broken. Or just put the string
inline in both places and don't worry about the tiny bit of replication!
