Kernel users don't have any means of checking the names of nvmem
devices. Add a routine that returns the name of the nvmem provider.

This will be useful for nvmem notifier subscribers - otherwise they
can't check what device is being added/removed.

+const char *nvmem_device_name(struct nvmem_device *nvmem)
+{
+       return dev_name(&nvmem->dev);
+}
+EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(nvmem_device_name);

Just wondering if *_dev_name() is more common pattern in the kernel
(at least pci_dev_name() comes immediately to mind).
