thanks. And sorry, I thought the test was against hi->input->name,
thus my "hint" which was exactly the same as what you tested.
Anyway, hdev->name is still never null, so the remark still applies.

No. When the hid_input struct is allocated in hid-input.c, the field
hi->input->name is set to hdev->name (my previous "hint" should be
here).
The whole dirty part of the patch when I included the "Pen" in the
name was because of that: hi->input->name is never null, and it was
difficult to change this in hid-core.c without any side effects in the
other hid drivers.
Cheers,
Benjamin
