It isn't _my_ use, really. I only run a variety of boot tests with qemu.
I expect we'll see reports from others trying to boot the mainline kernel
on real sifive_u hardware or other hardware using the same driver or other
drivers using dev_name() as dev_id parameter. Coccinelle finds the
following callers:

/sound/soc/codecs/rt5682s.c: dev_name() used as dev_id at line 2833
/drivers/clk/sifive/sifive-prci.c: dev_name() used as dev_id at line 540
/sound/soc/codecs/tlv320aic32x4-clk.c: dev_name() used as dev_id at line 475
/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-bcm2835.c: dev_name() used as dev_id at line 189
/sound/soc/codecs/rt5682.c: dev_name() used as dev_id at line 2909
