Allocating the sysfs attribute name only if needed and only with the required minimum length looks optimal, but does not take the additional overhead for both devm_ data structures and the allocation header itself into account. This also results in unnecessary memory fragmentation. Move the sysfs name string into struct hwmon_device_attribute and give it a sufficient length to reduce this overhead.
