Subject: [PATCH] staging: sm7xxfb: copy name of the device before calling smtc_alloc_fb_info

as we do a strcpy(smdrv_ptr->fb_struct->fix->id, name), and the name here in
sm7xxx_probe is not having any assignment, and which leads to copying of the garbage value
into the id field of the fix struct of fb interface struct. fix it by copying the name before
calling alloc_fbinfo
