Hi Chanwoo,

commit 4585fbcb5331 ("PM / devfreq: Modify the device name as devfreq(X) for
sysfs") changed the node name to devfreq(x). After this commit, it is not
possible to get the device name through /sys/class/devfreq/devfreq(X)/*.

Add new name attribute in order to get device name.
Could you please describe the issue encountered in more detail
(what the old device name is needed for)?

It seems that 'dev' can be used instead of 'devfreq->dev.parent'.

Error values are not encoded into pointer returned by dev_name()

This leaks 'devfreq' object and doesn't encode return value into
pointer returned by devfreq_add_device(), it should be replaced by:

	err = -EINVAL;
	goto err_dev;
 	dev_set_name(&devfreq->dev, "devfreq%d",
 				atomic_inc_return(&devfreq_no));
 	err = device_register(&devfreq->dev);
