This is not only a cosmetic change because the section mismatch checks
also depend on the name and for drivers the checks are stricter than for
ops.

However xircom_driver also passes the stricter checks just fine, so no
further changes needed.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")

As per my comment on a similar patch for a different driver:

From a Networking subsystem point of view
this feels more like an enhancement than a bug fix.
Can we drop the Fixes tag?
For completeness: Here the same applies as for said other patch: IMHO
the Fixes: line is right, but I agree that we don't need a backport to
stable and I'm ok with dropping the line.

Best regards
Uwe
