Comment (by segher):
> It was used to drop the "name" in the structure completely, thus saving
a couple of bytes for every device. Since romcc was easily bloating auto.c
up to 64k, the savings can be considered non-existent
Ah I see, it's conditionally compiled out. Yeah let's always enable it,
it doesn't take much space, and the (potentially) improved diagnostics
are worth it /me thinks.
