This fixed it for me too, thanks for posting. This behavior is different
from the way that at least some kernels work. I was working with 3.4.6, and
there it prefers to see the name be the same as the actual hardware device.
So in my case the kernel expects .name to be "m25p32", and if it gets m25p80
it squawks a message saying what it really found was "m25p32".
