No, you can just hardcode this driver_name in your machine driver rather 
than getting it from DT, this is how everyone does!.

The thing that I suggested to add to common.c is setting card->long_name 
from "model" property.

Make sure that vendor name is correct here, am not sure if trogdor is 
qcom board or Google own board!

Looks good to me!
