Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.7 05/39] extcon: fix possible name leak in extcon_dev_register()

From: Yaxiong Tian <tianyaxiong@...inos.cn>

[ Upstream commit e66523c72c9aae0ff0dae6859eb77b04de1e8e5f ]

In the error path after calling dev_set_name(), the device
name is leaked. To fix this, moving dev_set_name() after the
error path and before device_register.
