Much nicer, and I'll take this, but why are you doing this:

?  That implies that the name isn't already in the path, which it should
be (or at the least, a symlink should be there, so this sysfs file
should not be needed at all, right?)

Also:
> +	slot_irq->name = dev_name(&dev->dev);

Why do that?  Who needs this name now that we already have it in the
device?  Can't that field be removed entirely now also?
