As a result, device_wakeup_enable() end up registering wakeup source with a null name when wakeup_source_register() gets called with dev_name(dev) which is null at the time. When kernel is booted with wakeup_source_activate enabled, it will panic when the trace point code tries to dereference ws->name. Fixed the problem by moving up the kobject_set_name() call prior to accesses to dev_name(). Replaced kobject_set_name() with dev_set_name() which is the right interface to be called from drivers. Fixed the call to device_del() prior to device_add() in for wakeup_init_failed error handling code.
