[PATCH] tpm: fix misc name memory problem
I was using invalid memory for the miscdevice.name. This patch fixes the problem which was manifested by an ugly entry in /proc/misc. Signed-off-by: Kylene Hall <kjhall@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
