Hmm, I think it would make more sense to always store the name generated
via kasprintf() in the percpu variable (independently from succeeding to
bind the irq), and in the related free function to always kfree() it and
set it to NULL again.

This would result in less code.

Thanks, It's good to me, already sent v2.
