It looks like we have several situations like this, not just this one.

For example, tipc_nl_compat_bearer_{enable,disable}() with b->name.

Next, tipc_nl_compat_media_set() and tipc_nl_compat_bearer_set().

On input, tipc_nl_compat_link_stat_dump() blindly does a strcmp()
on one of these strings.

In fact, this entire file is full of errors of this sort.

Can you please address all of them, perhaps using a helper of
some kind to consolidate the logic?

Thank you.
