Subject: [PATCH] HSI: core: fix resource leaks in hsi_add_client_from_dt()

If some of the allocations fail between the dev_set_name() and the
device_register() then the name will not be freed.  Fix this by
moving dev_set_name() directly in front of the call to device_register().

Jason, this is the most common type of error I see with device_register().
Is there a downside to calling dev_set_name() later?  Presumably it's
printed out somewhere, but I feel like just moving the dev_set_name() is
almost always the best and simplest fix.
