I would be "sizeof(foo)" in kernel coding style, but let's have a look
at the original code:

                struct net_device *netdev = dev->netdev;
                char name[IFNAMSIZ];

                dev->state &= ~PCAN_USB_STATE_CONNECTED;
                strncpy(name, netdev->name, IFNAMSIZ);

                unregister_netdev(netdev);
                free_candev(netdev);

                kfree(dev->cmd_buf);
                dev->next_siblings = NULL;
                if (dev->adapter->dev_free)
                        dev->adapter->dev_free(dev);

                dev_info(&intf->dev, "%s removed\n", name);

I think it's save to use:

    dev_info(&intf->dev, "%s removed\n", netdev_name(dev->netdev));

instead of doing the str?cpy() in the first place. But why not use:

    netdev_info(dev->netdev, "removed\n");

Is the USB device information lost when using netdev_info()?
