If bus->state is equal to MDIOBUS_ALLOCATED, mdiobus_free(bus) will free
the "bus". But bus->name is still used in the next line, which will lead
to a use after free.
We can fix it by putting the bus->name in a local variable and then use
the name in the error message without referring to bus to avoid the uaf.

Netdev uses reverse christmass tree, meaning you need to sort
variables longest to shortest.
I'm also wondering about the lifetime of name. name itself is a stack
variable, so it will disappear as soon as the function exits. The
string itself is in the rodata section. But is a copy made onto the
stack, or does bus->name point to the rodata?

If resend a patch, you can use prefix "[PATCH v2]" in subject.
e.g. git format-patch -1 -v2

If bus->state is equal to MDIOBUS_ALLOCATED, mdiobus_free(bus) will free
the "bus". But bus->name is still used in the next line, which will lead
to a use after free.
We can fix it by assigning dev_err_probe() to dev_err before the bus is
freed to avoid the uaf.

Add fix log here:)

Bus name is a constant please put it in a local variable:
const char *name = "Synopsys MII Bus";
...
bus->name = name;
and then you can use name in the error message without referring to bus.
