Subject: [PATCH 5.12 202/242] mfd: syscon: Free the allocated name field of struct regmap_config

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

commit 56a1188159cb2b87fbcb5a7a7afb38a4dd9db0c1 upstream.

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.
