Commit Message

When the function successfully finishes it logs an information about
the registration of the cooling device and use its name to build the
message. Unfortunately it was freed right before:

drivers/thermal/cpuidle_cooling.c:218 __cpuidle_cooling_register()
	warn: 'name' was already freed.

Fix this by freeing after the message happened.

Fixes: 6fd1b186d900 ("thermal/drivers/cpuidle_cooling: Use device name instead of auto-numbering")

Why not merge this with the Fixes patch itself since it isn't there in Linus's
tree yet ?

Or is your branch strictly immutable ?

Hi Viresh;

The changes follow the path:

testing -> linux-next -> next

The branch next is never rebased. The patch above reached it. This is
notified by the thermal-bot [1].
