It's possible that dev_set_name() returns -ENOMEM. We could catch and
handle it by adding dev_set_name() return value check.

As has been mentioned elsewhere:

If dev_set_name() fails, device_add() will fail. device_register() calls
device_add() and will therefore fail as well. For that reason, error
checking dev_set_name() is unnecessary for hwmon devices.
