The CHIP_NAME macro was invented at a time when we were really tight
in rom space, but it is obviously the wrong approach.
I don't see how a macro would help any in this regard?
It was used to drop the "name" in the structure completely, thus saving a couple of bytes for every device. Since romcc was easily bloating auto.c up to 64k, the savings can be considered non-existent
