Subject: mtd: diskonchip: mem resource name is not optional

From: Sasha Levin <[email protected]>

commit 86e4bbc766b9456f583f2fc3c4f6c623b422af88 upstream.

Passing a name to request_mem_region() isn't optional and can't just
be NULL. Passing NULL causes a NULL ptr deref later in the boot
process.
