Use the device model to get just the name, rather than using the
ethtool API to get all driver information.

Compile-tested only.  I'm assuming that the strncmp() is not really
necessary, but perhaps there is some OOT variant of cdc_ncm that is also
supposed to be supported?

Ben.

Applied, I guess you found this while looking around for tests
of ethtool_ops being NULL?

Yes.  These (bonding and caif_usb) weren't the only ones, though.
