While it is generally a good practice to store the result of a lookup function in a local variable if you need it more than once, in this specific case it is not such a good idea because both uses are conditional (one depends on an error, the other on debugging). On top of that, they are mutually exclusive, so in the worst case the result of the lookup function will only be used once anyway. So better call qeth_get_ipa_cmd_name() where it is needed, so that in the best (and most frequent) case it is never called at all. It should improve the qeth driver performance a little bit.
