The commit 4585fbcb5331 ("PM / devfreq: Modify the device name as devfreq(X) for sysfs") changed the node name to devfreq(x). After this commit, it is not possible to get the device name through /sys/class/devfreq/devfreq(X)/*.
Add new name attribute in order to get device name.

Changes from v2:
- Change the order of name_show() according to the sequence in devfreq_attrs[]
Changes from v1:
- Update sysfs-class-devfreq documentation
- Show device name directly from 'devfreq->dev.parent'
Shouldn't you just revert the original patch here? Why did the sysfs file change?

Why is the parent's name being set here, and not the device name?
The device name should be the name of the directory, and the parent's name is the name of the parent directory, why is a sysfs attribute for a name needed at all?
