V4L/DVB (13549): v4l: Add video_device_node_name function
Many drivers access the device number (video_device::v4l2_devnode::num) in order to print the video device node name. Add and use a helper function to retrieve the video_device node name.

There are a few useful helper functions:

- file/video_device private data

You can set/get driver private data in the video_device struct using:

The video_device node kernel name can be retrieved using

const char *video_device_node_name(struct video_device *vdev);

The name is used as a hint by userspace tools such as udev. The function

should be used where possible instead of accessing the video_device::num and
|

video_device::minor fields.
