Subject: nvmem: core: Fix memleak in nvmem_register()
From: Gaosheng Cui <cuigaosheng1@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit bd1244561fa2a4531ded40dbf09c9599084f8b29 upstream.
dev_set_name will alloc memory for nvmem->dev.kobj.name in
nvmem_register, when nvmem_validate_keepouts failed, nvmem's
memory will be freed and return, but nobody will free memory
for nvmem->dev.kobj.name, there will be memleak, so moving
nvmem_validate_keepouts() after device_register() and let
the device core deal with cleaning name in error cases.
Fixes: de0534df9347 ("nvmem: core: fix error handling while validating keepout regions")
