Temporary strings with volt_* file names should be released after the
debugfs entries are created. While at it, also simplify the string
allocation, and use just snprintf() to create the name.

The patch eliminates kmemleak reports with the following stack trace
(multiple objects depending on HW):

unreferenced object 0xcedbc5a0 (size 64):
  comm "swapper", pid 1, jiffies 4294929375 (age 423.734s)

Is there any need to keep this inside the loop? Defining it in the
beginning of function might save a few cpu cycles.

That's the correct place to declare it - the variable's scope should be
limited to the block where it's used.

I don't think so.

Replied to the wrong patch earlier.

Just to be clear, I'm queuing v2 for the 2.6.38-rc cycle.
