[PATCH] serial: 8250: 8250_core: Fix irq name for 8250 serial irq

From: Vignesh R
Date: Thu Mar 16 2017 - 08:28:07 EST


Using dev_name() as irq name during request_irq() might be misleading in
case of serial over PCI. Therefore use a better alternative name for
identifying serial port irqs as "serial" appended with serial_index of
the port. This ensures that "serial" string is always present in irq
name while port index will help in distinguishing b/w different ports.
