: I had the same concerns too, but was not able to come up with anything
: better. BTW, I think those devices were the first that ended with a
: digit.

No.  They weren't.  There are sound devices that end in digits:

# snd_ad1816:		Analog Devices AD1816 ISA PnP/non-PnP.
# snd_als4000:		Avance Logic ALS4000 PCI.
# snd_cs4281:		Crystal Semiconductor CS4281 PCI.
# snd_ds1:		Yamaha DS-1 PCI.
# snd_emu10k1:		Creative EMU10K1 PCI and EMU10K2 (Audigy) PCI.
# snd_envy24:		VIA Envy24 and compatible, needs snd_spicds.
# snd_fm801:		Forte Media FM801 PCI.
# snd_maestro3:		ESS Technology Maestro-3/Allegro PCI.
# snd_sb16:		Creative SoundBlaster16, to be used in
# snd_sb8:		Creative SoundBlaster (pre-16), to be used in
# snd_via8233:		VIA VT8233x PCI.
# snd_via82c686:	VIA VT82C686A PCI.

but since they all live on an enumerated bus, they all share the name
"pcm".

There are also these:

device	tnt4882			Nat Ins PCI GPIB card
(which does have the digit in the name:
static driver_t pci_gpib_driver = {
	"tnt4882",
	tnt4882_methods,
	sizeof(struct tnt_softc)
};
)

and the following which are just config options:

#device		ath_ar5210	# AR5210 chips
#device		ath_ar5211	# AR5211 chips
#device		ath_ar5212	# AR5212 chips
#device		ath_rf2413
#device		ath_rf2417
#device		ath_rf2425
#device		ath_rf5111
#device		ath_rf5112
#device		ath_rf5413
#device		ath_ar5416	# AR5416 chips

Interestingly, drm avoids this by:

device		drm		# DRM core module required by DRM drivers
device		i915drm		# Intel i830 through i915
device		mach64drm	# ATI Rage Pro, Rage Mobility P/M, Rage XL
device		mgadrm		# AGP Matrox G200, G400, G450, G550
device		r128drm		# ATI Rage 128

I've also been at companies (well one) that have device names that end
in digits.
