Or it could cause memory leak. So fix this by calling put_device(), then the name can be freed in kobject_cleanup(). Calling path: of_device_register() -> of_device_add() -> device_add(). As comment of device_add() says, 'if device_add() succeeds, you should call device_del() when you want to get rid of it. If device_add() has not succeeded, use only put_device() to drop the reference count'. Found by code review.
