commit e24b15d470 upstream.
Setting the genpd's struct device's name with dev_set_name() is
happening within pm_genpd_init(). If it remains NULL, things can blow up
later, such as when crafting the devfs hierarchy for the power domain:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 when read
...

Bisecting tracks this crash back to commit 899f44531f ("pmdomain: core:
Add GENPD_FLAG_DEV_NAME_FW flag"), which exchanges use of genpd->name
with dev_name(&genpd->dev) in genpd_debug_add.part().
Fixes: 899f44531f ("pmdomain: core: Add GENPD_FLAG_DEV_NAME_FW flag")
