Subject: [PATCH v2] staging: comedi: cb_pcidas64: fix request_irq() warn

request_irq() wont accept a name which contains slash so we need to
repalce it with something else -- otherwise it will trigger a warning
and the entry in /proc/irq/ will not be created
since the .name might be used by userspace and we don't want to break
userspace, so we are changing the parameters passed to request_irq()

[    1.565966] name 'pci-das6402/16'
[    1.566149] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 184 at fs/proc/generic.c:180 __xlate_proc_name+0x93/0xb0
