Maybe not, just a suggestion.
There are already 17 uses though.

It might have some value like DRV_NAME does or
any other frequent #define used in printks or
#include code.

It may be useful standardization prior to or post
some generic watchdog code consolidation.

$ grep -r --include=*.[ch] -Poh "^#define\s*\w+NAME\b" drivers | \
  sed -r -e 's/\s+/ /g' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -10
    334 #define DRV_NAME
    137 #define DRIVER_NAME
     59 #define MODULE_NAME
     25 #define DRVNAME
     21 #define DRV_MODULE_NAME
     18 #define DEVICE_NAME
     17 #define WATCHDOG_NAME
     15 #define MY_NAME
     12 #define BOARD_MAP_NAME
     11 #define DSS_SUBSYS_NAME
