Sorry no. This is a syntax I am against and frequently request people to not
use in drivers.
The main reason is there is no explicit reason the two locations you use it
in here should use the same string. Using a define makes that implication
and I'd prefer that we did not. Note that if they were required to be the
same then a define would make sense.
I want to look at the code and see the string directly in these locations
rather than go look for a define that adds nothing.
