I was going through the code. The apne driver apne.c in the same
folder is using DRV_NAME in request_region()

I can change the wd.c request_region() code to use DRV_NAME. Currently
it is using a string constant.

This will make it more consistent. Please suggest which change is more
preferable.

@Matthew, following drivers are not using dev->name in request_irq()
axnet_cs.c
mac8390.c
hydra.c
ne-h8300.c
apne.c
stnic.c
zorro8390.c

Regards.
