From: King Dix <kingdix10@qq.com>
When using devm_request_mem_region() to request a resource and the name
parameter is a stack string variable, it may cause errors when executing
the command `cat /proc/iomem`. Depending on the content of the memory, the
manifestations of errors may vary. One possible output may be as follows:
$ cat /proc/iomem
30000000-37ffffff :
38000000-3fffffff :
Another possibility is that garbage characters may appear after the colon.
In very rare cases, if no NUL-terminator is found in memory, the system
might crash because the string iterator may access unmapped memory above
the stack.
Fix this by replacing outbound_name with the name of the previously
requested resource. With the patch applied, the output is as follows:
$ cat /proc/iomem
30000000-37ffffff : memory2
38000000-3fffffff : memory3
