I was referring to e.g. [PATCH v2 08/18] MIPS: Replace setup_irq() by
request_irq(), in which you can find this:

@@ -116,8 +110,16 @@ static void __init ar7_irq_init(int base)
handle_level_irq);
}

- setup_irq(2, &ar7_cascade_action);
- setup_irq(ar7_irq_base, &ar7_cascade_action);
+ if (request_irq(2, no_action, IRQF_NO_THREAD, "AR7 cascade interrupt",
+ NULL)) {
+ pr_err("%s: request_irq() failed\n",
+ "AR7 cascade interrupt");
+ }
+ if (request_irq(ar7_irq_base, no_action, IRQF_NO_THREAD,
+ "AR7 cascade interrupt", NULL)) {
+ pr_err("%s: request_irq() failed\n",
+ "AR7 cascade interrupt");
+ }
set_c0_status(IE_IRQ0);
}

BTW, I think that deduplication of string constants can happen during LTO,
so the benefit of consistency need not be confined to a compilation unit.
I don't think this is relevant to kernel builds.
