Subject: [PATCH v2] irq/generic-chip: Don't replace domain's name

Currently we are replacing domain's name with irq chip's name when
allocating generic chips.

When the old domain's name is allocated, it would cause memory leak.
Even worse the domain framework would try to free the wrong name later.

Fixes: d59f6617eef0 ("genirq: Allow fwnode to carry name information only")
Signed-off-by: Jeffy Chen <jeffy.chen@...k-chips.com>
---

Changes in v2:
Don't replace domain's name instead of trying to free the old name.
