Set the iio device's name based on the chip used for the
LTC2499 only. The most common way for IIO clients to interact
with a device is to address it based on it's name. By using
the dev_name() function, the name will be set based on a
i2c_client's kobj name, which has the format i2c_instance-i2c_address
(1-0076 for example). This is not ideal, since it makes a
requirement for userspace to have knowledge about the hardware
connections of the device.
The name field is set to NULL for the LTC2497 and LTC2496, so
that the old name can kept as it is, since changing it will
result in an ABI breakage.

This allows to share most of this driver for the ltc2496 driver added in
the next commit that is an SPI variant of the ltc2497. Initially I named
the generic part ltc249x, but wild card names are frowned upon, so the
generic part is called ltc2497-core even though it's not obvious that
this is then to be reused for the ltc2496 driver.
