You don't need !! here.  && is already a logical operation, so returns
a valid bool.

Others have pointed out some problems with the use of dev_name()
here.  I'll add that I think you'll make things much easier if instead
of using one huge "devices" subdir, you use a separate subdir for each
vfio sub-driver (so, one for PCI, one for each type of mdev, one for
platform, etc.).  That should make avoiding name conflicts a lot simpler.
