Subject: power_supply: Fix Oops from NULL pointer dereference from
wakeup_source_activate
commit 80c6463e2fa3377febfc98a6672d92d07f3c26c1 upstream.
power_supply_register() calls device_init_wakeup() to register a wakeup
source before initializing dev_name. As a result, device_wakeup_enable()
end up registering wakeup source with a null name when
wakeup_source_register() gets called with dev_name(dev) which is null at
the time.
When kernel is booted with wakeup_source_activate enabled, it will panic
when the trace point code tries to dereference ws->name.
Fixed the problem by moving up the kobject_set_name() call prior to
accesses to dev_name(). Replaced kobject_set_name() with dev_set_name()
which is the right interface to be called from drivers. Fixed the call to
device_del() prior to device_add() in for wakeup_init_failed error
handling code.
Trace after the change:
