Subject: [PATCH] driver core: platform: Fix the usage of platform device name(pdev->name)
Date: Mon, 22 Apr 2019 17:16:29 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1555978589-4998-1-git-send-email-vnkgutta@codeaurora.org> (raw)

Platform core is using pdev->name as the platform device name to do
the binding of the devices with the drivers. But, when the platform
driver overrides the platform device name with dev_set_name(),
the pdev->name is pointing to a location which is freed and becomes
an invalid parameter to do the binding match.

use-after-free instance:

So, use dev_name(&pdev->dev), which fetches the platform device name from
the kobject(dev->kobj->name) of the device instead of the pdev->name.
