same here, you can now remove the idr.h header

This is probably too short (20 char) array. For example in my phone's
devfreq dir, there are really long names:

redfin:/sys/class/devfreq # for f in `ls ./` ; do echo $f; cat $f/name | 
wc -m ; done

We should allocate tmp buffer for it, to not loose the meaningful part
of that string name or end up with only the same prefix, like for the
first 3 from top:

devfreq-18321000.qco

or for the GPU:
devfreq-3d00000.qcom

This is tricky area and vendors might put any non-meaningful prefix.

The rest of the code looks OK, only this name construction part.
