Hmm... you are right, the name should be kept as long as device instance alive
(more precisely till calling free_irq() for the IRQ handler in question).

I will redo this part (currently I'm choosing between leaving the name in the
structure or using devm_kasprintf()for it, I'll check which one looks better
at the end).
