This patch simply makes the tilegx net driver call request_irq with a
non-null name. It makes the output in /proc/interrupts more obvious, but
also helps tools that don't expect to find null there.

Good catch. If you can change it to dev->name instead of "tile_net", feel
free to add my:

It really should be using dev->name since that helps out some
applications like irqbalance that read /proc/interrupts

I thought about that first, but it wouldn't be very logical. This
module is loaded once and for all when the first network device is
brought up, so this request_irq is for all the tile network
interfaces. Suppose you "up" gbe0, "up" gbe1 and "down" gbe0, the
device name would still be gbe0, even though it's down. That's why I
opted for a generic name instead.
If you still want to go with dev->name I have no problem with that.

No, you're right, that's a good point. It does probably make more sense to
use "tile_net". So apply my Acked-by to your patch as-is. Thanks!

I am not sure if this patch will get picked up directly by David Miller
of it should go through Chris Metcalf's tree first. Hopefully it is
simple enough that it can get merged directly.
