When I accidentally created a new endpoint device with an empty name, the kernel warned about "attempted to be registered with empty name!" and crashed afterwards.
It turned out that the crash was not caused by the 'device_add()' function itself, but by a double kfree of 'epf->name' and 'epf'. The first patch just simplifies the code, while the second patch fixes the problem.
