Subject: [PATCH] DVB flexcop-pci: sanitize driver name to avoid warning on 
	load

Hi,

DVB driver for Flexcop/Technisat receiver currently calls request_irq()
with a long driver name containing slashes. This triggers a warning
when kernel tries to create /proc/irq/[NN]/[driver name] directory
(attached to avoid mangling).

The patch in attachment changes the driver name used in
pci_request_regions() and request_irq() to a shorter version without
slashes.

Signed-off-by: Jindrich Makovicka <makovick@...il.com>
