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.

Output of cat /proc/interrupts
