[ 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.

This patch was broken and got reverted in commit 391c0325cc5f ("Revert "driver core: platform: Fix the usage of platform device name(pdev->name)"") so please do not include it here, or anywhere.
Dropped everywhere, thanks!
