Changing my mind (again :)). According to [1], the instance id is
related to the CS line, so devm_kasprintf() is the right solution.

Sorry for the noise.

This comment still stands, except it should be:

	if (!mtd->name)
		mtd->name = devm_kasprintf(&pdev->dev, GFP_KERNEL,
					   "omap2-nand.%d", info->gpmc_cs);

	if (!mtd->name) {
		dev_err(&pdev->dev, "Failed to set MTD name\n");
		return -ENOMEM;
	}
