[PATCH] serial: 8250: 8250_core: Use dev_name() during request_irq()

From: vigneshr@ti.com (Vignesh R)
Date: 2017-03-08 12:21:45
Also in: linux-serial, lkml
Subsystem: 8250/16?50 (and clone uarts) serial driver, the rest, tty layer and serial drivers · Maintainers: Greg Kroah-Hartman, Linus Torvalds, Jiri Slaby

Passing "serial" as name during request_irq() results in all serial port
irqs have same name. This does not help much to easily identify which
irq belongs to which serial port instance. Therefore pass dev_name()
during request_irq() so that better identifiable name is listed for
serial ports in cat /proc/interrupts output.

Output of cat /proc/interrupts

After this patch:
