device_wakeup_enable() uses dev_name(dev) as the wakeup source name.

when the trace point code tries to derefernces ws->name.
Change device_wakeup_enable() to check for dev_name(dev) null condition
and return -EINVAL to avoid panics when device_wakeup_enable() gets called
before device is fully initialized with its name.
return -EINVAL;
Can you please use WARN_ON(!dev_name(dev)) here? While I agree that it is a
bad idea to crash the kernel because dev has no name, that indicates a driver
bug that shouldn't be too easy to ignore.
Thanks!
Right. ok I will re-cut the patch with WARN_ON and send it. fyi I did
send fix for the driver (power_supply) as well.
