I would rather have something that doesn't depend on a correct string
and matches based on the device pointer instead. I agree that having the
correct string makes it easier to reference schematics/trm and the like,
but making the SW depend on the correct spelling of a simple string, is
too much for me :-(

Specially when getting it wrong "has the potential for hardware damage"
:-)
