In the non-DT case, the name member of the clocksource/event struct will
point to this array and so it needs to reside in memory permanently and
not just temporary. Once we migrate completely to DT then we will be
able to remove this completely. See following snippet ...

-		sprintf(name, "timer%d", gptimer_id);
-		oh_name = name;
+		sprintf(timer_name, "timer%d", gptimer_id);
+		*name = timer_name;

Cheers
Jon
