Actually it's not this commit that is at fault as mtd->name was already
given the value of device_node->name before that. I think you're
actually fixing 1cbb4a1c433a ("mtd: powernv: Add powernv flash MTD
abstraction driver").

No need to send a new version, I can fix that when applying, just let
me know if you're okay with the changes I suggested.
