This reminds me of something I should do in the next time.
A cdev is not in any way related to a struct device_d anymore.
Nevertheless we more than once use the device id to construct a
cdev name like above. Instead we should have a
get_cdev_name(char *template) function which creates a name suitable for
cdevs. This way both a spi and a i2c eeprom driver could use "eeprom" as
template and both would get a valid name.
