Where are those drivers added? Looking at linux-6.1-rc2
and linux-next, I still see them use the same drivers as
the original ones, and listing both strings would be the
preferred method.

I mean if you had run into the case where you have
a driver that misbehaves when the fallback string is
present in addition to the most specific one.
