Up till now only single character ('A' or 'B') was used to provide
information of HSR slave network device status.

As it is also possible and valid, that Interlink network device may
be supported as well, the description must be more verbose. As a result
the full string description is now used.

"designation" is now a pointer and is being assigned value
without even allocating memory for it.

"Slave A" is in memory somewhere, probably the .rodata section. So
designation now points to that memory.

Thanks for splitting this into a patch.

Reverse Christmas tree. I know it is broken already, but we should not
make it worse.

I guess you can also add a const, since "Slave A" is probably const.

Yes, "Slave A/B" would be allocated in .rodata (as it it just a string
label).

const keyword added would help with the readability.
