The developer is in control of the code they are using so it's up to them
to only have unique names in their sources :-). Just name new ones
unambiguously, preferably based around what is distinctive about their
driver.
There's no standard as such because the only way to make names truly unique
is to have a central registration authority, and that's just too much
overhead for something small like this :-).
