UFS drivers that probe defer will endup leaking memory allocated for clk and regulator names via kstrdup because the structure that is holding this memory is allocated via devm_* variants which will be freed during probe defer but the names are never freed. Use same devm_* variant of kstrdup to free the memory allocated to name when driver probe defers.
