[ Upstream commit bc0e610a6eb0d46e4123fafdbe5e6141d9fff3be ]
If bus->state is equal to MDIOBUS_ALLOCATED, mdiobus_free(bus) will free
the "bus". But bus->name is still used in the next line, which will lead
to a use after free.
We can fix it by putting the name in a local variable and make the
bus->name point to the rodata section "name",then use the name in the
error message without referring to bus to avoid the uaf.
Fixes: 95b5fc03c189 ("net: arc_emac: Make use of the helper function dev_err_probe()")
