How about:

Generating a device name for the I2C Designware module using the PCI
ID can result in a name of:

i2c_designware.39424

clkdev_create will store:

i2c_designware.3942

The stored name is one off and will not match correctly during probe.

It wasn't clear to why there was a difference in sizes.  At the moment the CON_ID isn't
causing me an issue.  Shall I drop that part of the change?

Thanks!
