I tried to copy the original format string very carefully, but you do
have a point. I'll do it in the next version.

Right, I could "cache it" in a local variable, but then I'd have to
triplicate the variable reference. And, runtime-wise, qdev_fw_name() is
called only once, it's just spelled out thrice in the source.

I was afraid that bashing on old code would only earn me some ire (not
from you, mind you -- in general), so I didn't mention this fact in the
commit message on purpose. :)

I will, in the next version.
