Subject: [PATCH 5.9 355/757] mfd: syscon: Dont free allocated name for regmap_config

From: Marc Zyngier <maz@...nel.org>

[ Upstream commit 529a1101212a785c5df92c314b0e718287150c3b ]

The name allocated for the regmap_config structure is freed
pretty early, right after the registration of the MMIO region.

Unfortunately, that doesn't follow the life cycle that debugfs
expects, as it can access the name field long after the free
has occurred.

Move the free on the error path, and keep it forever otherwise.

Fixes: e15d7f2b81d2 ("mfd: syscon: Use a unique name with regmap_config")
