The i2c adapter names are strings which appear as the _contents_ of
sysfs attributes. They don't appear in procfs. What happens here is
that the adapter name is used also as the IRQ name:
if (irq) {
ret = request_irq(irq, i2c_pca_pf_handler,
IRQF_TRIGGER_FALLING, i2c->adap.name, i2c);
if (ret)
goto e_reqirq;
}
This is the problem. i2c->adap.name shouldn't be used here, instead the
driver name "i2c-pca-platform" should be used.
Oh, I didn't notice. I will fix this.
And hrere was a couse of the warning.

I would like to avoid changing the adapter name when we don't have to.
People may be using this string as an identifier in i2c tools. Please
leave the adapter name unchanged and only change the IRQ name.
I see.
But I noticed that it was not necessary to revice it here.
There was the cause of the warning for the name to request_irq.
I revert the revision of here.

This is semantically incorrect. We are registering a device here, not a
driver. The proposed change makes this error message confusing. Please
revert.
I agree.
