Shouldn't be static?
Also it's often const char * const names[] = { ... }
unless you overwrite something.

Now I'm wondering whether it's safe to do that from this place.
Basically device_reprobe() unbinds the device that releases the full
resources once including the devm_* stuff.  And this work itself is in
a part of devm allocated resource, so it'll be released there.  That
said, we might hit use-after-free...  This needs to be verified.
