Subject[PATCH 0/4] fix some improper uses of dev_set_name
Date
dev_set_name expects a format string. Many of its uses, however, blindly
call it with a string variable that comes from some external, perhaps
unreliable source. Some of those uses are safe, like those in the third
patch in the series and most of those not fixed by any of them. Some few
remaining uses may require some more attention to decide if a patch is
really required. Perhaps converting all of them for safeness is a good
compromise.

Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo (4):
driver core: use string format when name is another device's name
driver core: use string format when name is given to an exported
function
input: set the device's name and copy it to private version
ARM: use put_device instead of kfree
