[ Upstream commit 99e1241049a92dd3e9a90a0f91e32ce390133278 ]
Afer commit 1fa5ae857bb1 ("driver core: get rid of struct device's
bus_id string array"), the name of device is allocated dynamically.
Therefore, it needs to be freed, which is done by the driver core for
us once all references to the device are gone. Therefore, move the
dev_set_name() call immediately before the call device_register(), which
either succeeds (then the freeing will be done upon subsequent remvoal),
or puts the reference in the error call. Also, it is not unusual that the
return value of dev_set_name is not checked.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
