One potential issue here, you're setting the name to the same as the
CMA name. Since the CMA heap uses the CMA name, if one chunk was
registered as a chunk heap but also was the default CMA area, it might
be registered twice. But since both would have the same name it would
be an initialization race as to which one "wins".

So maybe could you postfix the CMA name with "-chunk" or something?
