A default name is provided in sysfs if no firmware is started/synchronised on boot.
IMO providing an empty name here could be confusing.
Perhaps a refactoring of this sysfs entry would be nice:
- Normal boot (no firmware loaded) : empty name instead of a default name
- auto_boot: name provided by the platform driver or default name ( current implementation)
- synchronization: a predefined name such as Default, unknown, External, None,...

I don't know if you decide to keep "MCU" or not. If not the case
you have also some other instances in your patch 9/14.
