I don't think you can (or should) do this.  Move it to the body of the
comment below.

Why is that more readable than

	if (!is_irq_valid(pdev->irq)) {
		dev_err(&pdev->dev, "invalid irq #%d\n", pdev->irq);
		return -EINVAL;
	}

The driver name is a far more common usage than the pci_name.

	return request_irq(pdev->irq, handler, flags | IRQF_SHARED,
			name ? name : pdev->driver->name,
			pci_get_drvdata(pdev));
