Since commitef441dd6af("usb: typec: mux: Allow the muxes to be named") the typec_switch_desc and typec_mux_desc structs contain a name field. The pi3usb30532 driver allocates these structs on the stack and so far did not explicitly zero the mem used for the structs. This causes the new name fields to point to a random memory address, which in my test case happens to be a valid address leading to "interesting" mux / switch names: [root@localhost ~]# ls -l /sys/class/typec_mux/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 Apr 14 12:55 ''$'\r''-switch' -> ... lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 Apr 14 12:55 ''$'\320\302\006''2'$'... Explicitly initialize the structs to zero when declaring them on the stack so that any unused fields get set to 0, fixing this.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
