In regmap_debugfs_init the initialisation of the debugfs is delayed if the root node isn't ready yet. Most callers of regmap_debugfs_init pass the name from the regmap_config, which is considered temporary ie. may be unallocated after the regmap_init call returns. This leads to a potential use after free, where config->name has been freed by the time it is used in regmap_debugfs_initcall. This situation can be seen on Zynq, where the architecture init_irq callback registers a syscon device, using a local variable for the regmap_config. As init_irq is very early in the platform bring up the regmap debugfs root isn't ready yet. Although this doesn't crash it does result in the debugfs entry not having the correct name. Regmap already sets map->name from config->name on the regmap_init path and the fact that a separate field is used to pass the name to regmap_debugfs_init appears to be an artifact of the debugfs name being added before the map name. As such this patch updates regmap_debugfs_init to use map->name, which is already duplicated from the config avoiding the issue. This does however leave two lose ends, both regmap_attach_dev and regmap_reinit_cache can be called after a regmap is registered and would have had the effect of applying a new name to the debugfs entries. In both of these cases it was chosen to update the map name. In the case of regmap_attach_dev there are 3 users that currently use this function to update the name, thus doing so avoids changes for those users and it seems reasonable that attaching a device would want to set the name of the map. In the case of regmap_reinit_cache the primary use-case appears to be devices that need some register access to identify the device (for example devices in the same family) and then update the cache to match the exact hardware. Whilst no users do currently update the name here, given the use-case it seemed reasonable the name might want to be updated once the device is better identified.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
