Subject: [PATCH] mfd: syscon: free the allocated name field of struct regmap_config

From: Limeng <Meng.Li@...driver.com>

The commit 529a1101212a("mfd: syscon: Don't free allocated name
for regmap_config") doesn't free the allocated name field of struct
regmap_config, but introduce a memory leak. There is another
commit 94cc89eb8fa5("regmap: debugfs: Fix handling of name string
for debugfs init delays") fixing this debugfs init issue from root
cause. With this fixing, the name field in struct regmap_debugfs_node
is removed. When initialize debugfs for syscon driver, the name
field of struct regmap_config is not used anymore. So, the allocated
name field of struct regmap_config is need to be freed directly after
regmap initialization to avoid memory leak.
