From: Dragos Tatulea <dtatulea@nvidia.com> The data direct PCI driver uses KBUILD_MODNAME as its driver name, which resolves to "mlx5_ib". This is misleading (the driver binds the data direct PCIe function, not an IB device) and would silently change to "mlx5_core" when the driver is relocated there. Name the driver explicitly "mlx5_dd".
