There are a few cases where we need the lowercase name of a given chipset, notably to resolve firmware files paths for dynamic loading or to build the module information. So far, we relied on a static `NAMES` array for the latter, and some CString hackery for the former. Replace both with a new `name` const method that returns the lowercase name of a chipset instance. We can generate it using the `paste!` macro. Using this method removes the need to create a `CString` when loading firmware, and lets us remove a couple of utility functions that now have no user.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
