This should be fine.  I'm wondering, though, if there's something else
you need from the naming scheme (esp. considering the next patch)?

This current patch solves the most critical issue - that the device name
changes for every modem reboot. This is a show-stopper for me. So it would be
great if this patch could go upstream. The other problem that device name
is non-deterministic is currently only a theoretical problem as we have only one
remoteproc device.
