        struct sa1111_dev *dev;
        int ret;

        dev = kzalloc(sizeof(struct sa1111_dev), GFP_KERNEL);
        if (!dev) {
                ret = -ENOMEM;
                goto out;
        }

        dev_set_name(&dev->dev, "%4.4lx", info->offset);
        dev->devid       = info->devid;
        dev->dev.parent  = sachip->dev;
        dev->dev.bus     = &sa1111_bus_type;
        dev->dev.release = sa1111_dev_release;
        dev->dev.coherent_dma_mask = sachip->dev->coherent_dma_mask;
        dev->res.start   = sachip->phys + info->offset;
        dev->res.end     = dev->res.start + 511;
        dev->res.name    = dev_name(&dev->dev);
        dev->res.flags   = IORESOURCE_MEM;
        dev->mapbase     = sachip->base + info->offset;
        dev->skpcr_mask  = info->skpcr_mask;
        memmove(dev->irq, info->irq, sizeof(dev->irq));

        ret = request_resource(parent, &dev->res);
        if (ret) {
                printk("SA1111: failed to allocate resource for %s\n",
                        dev->res.name);
                dev_set_name(&dev->dev, NULL);
                kfree(dev);
                goto out;
        }


        ret = device_register(&dev->dev);
        if (ret) {
                release_resource(&dev->res);
                put_device(&dev->dev);
                kfree(dev);
                goto out;
        }


so you mean don't call dev_set_name before device_register and let device_register or device_add take name param?
