Have you considered the fact that maybe you not using the right interface?

No. Because I'm not talking about *writing* an application, but about
*using* applications written by others.

Then you need to mention that to your ISV.

The producer of my two BU0836A
knows that the devices are different, I know that they are different,
the kernel knows that they are different, but the applications don't
know that, because the kernel doesn't tell them (via JSIOCGNAME).

You need to work with guys at linux-iio@vger.kernel.org (which stands
for Industrial I/O which is exactly what you are working with).

Hmm, then I wonder why the joystick names are different on Windows and
Linux already.  :-}
 

Probably because these are 2 quite different OSes?

  unpatched Linux:  "Leo Bodnar BU0836A Interface"
  (Vista?) Windows: "BU0836A Interface" (not even the manufacturer ... pff)

Oh, well. Forget it. I'll just distribute the patch, then. I didn't have
much hope, anyway.
