Subject: [PATCH 4.19 19/24] Revert "be2net: remove desc field from be_eq_obj"

4.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ivan Vecera <ivecera@...hat.com>

[ Upstream commit 5ef79151c2fbc401cf38325e9a32e77b9fc593ae ]

The mentioned commit needs to be reverted because we cannot pass
string allocated on stack to request_irq(). This function stores
uses this pointer for later use (e.g. /proc/interrupts) so we need
to keep this string persistently.
