When the function successfully finishes it logs an information about the registration of the cooling device and use its name to build the message. Unfortunately it was freed right before:
drivers/thermal/cpuidle_cooling.c:218 __cpuidle_cooling_register() warn: 'name' was already freed. Fix this by freeing after the message happened.
