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.
