Subject: [PATCH] usb: gadget: aspeed: Add NULL pointer check in ast_vhub_init_dev()

The variable d->name, returned by devm_kasprintf(), could be NULL.
A pointer check is added to prevent potential NULL pointer dereference.
This is similar to the fix in commit 3027e7b15b02
("ice: Fix some null pointer dereference issues in ice_ptp.c").

This issue is found by our static analysis tool
