The current name field used in the remoteproc structure is simply a pointer to a name field supplied during the rproc_alloc() call. The pointer passed in by remoteproc drivers during registration is typically a dev_name pointer, but it is possible that the pointer will no longer remain valid if the devices themselves were created at runtime like in the case of of_platform_populate(), and were deleted upon any failures within the respective remoteproc driver probe function. So, allocate and maintain a local copy for this name field to keep it agnostic of the logic used in the remoteproc drivers.

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.
