If s[i].name is too long, so what?  No change is required here.

This looks reasonable.

Not required.

Not required; passing NULL is a bug.

If dev->name is longer than IFNAMSIZ (including null terminator) than we
already failed.  This change is not required.

This is just noise.

This doesn't help, as strncpy() does not ensure null termination.  And I
don't think truncating the name is helpful either.  Perhaps we should do
this right at the beginning of the function:

	if (WARN_ON(strlen(name) >= IFNAMSIZ))
		return NULL;

I don't know what you mean.
