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: [ 33.325013] BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in strcmp+0x8c/0xb0 [ 33.330646] Read of size 1 at addr ffffffc10beae600 by task modprobe [ 33.339068] CPU: 5 PID: 518 Comm: modprobe Tainted: G S W O 4.19.30+ #3 [ 33.346835] Hardware name: MTP (DT) [ 33.350419] Call trace: [ 33.352941] dump_backtrace+0x0/0x3b8 [ 33.356713] show_stack+0x24/0x30 [ 33.360119] dump_stack+0x160/0x1d8 [ 33.363709] print_address_description+0x84/0x2e0 [ 33.368549] kasan_report+0x26c/0x2d0 [ 33.372322] __asan_report_load1_noabort+0x2c/0x38 [ 33.377248] strcmp+0x8c/0xb0 [ 33.380306] platform_match+0x70/0x1f8 [ 33.384168] __driver_attach+0x78/0x3a0 [ 33.388111] bus_for_each_dev+0x13c/0x1b8 [ 33.392237] driver_attach+0x4c/0x58 [ 33.395910] bus_add_driver+0x350/0x560 [ 33.399854] driver_register+0x23c/0x328 [ 33.403886] __platform_driver_register+0xd0/0xe0 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.

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.
