[ Upstream commit edb16da34b084c66763f29bee42b4e6bb33c3d66 ]

Platform core is using pdev->name as the platform device name to do
the binding of the devices with the drivers. But, when the platform
driver overrides the platform device name with dev_set_name(),
the pdev->name is pointing to a location which is freed and becomes
an invalid parameter to do the binding match.

use-after-free instance:

So, use dev_name(&pdev->dev), which fetches the platform device name from
the kobject(dev->kobj->name) of the device instead of the pdev->name.

Please drop this from everywhere as it was reverted from Linus's tree
because it causes big problems.

Dropped from all branches, thanks!
