Perhaps it would make sense to update the core code to release using
kfree_const(), allowing drivers to set the initial value with
kstrdup_const(). Drivers that currently use kstrdup() or kasprintf()
will continue to work [but if they kstrdup() a string literal they could
be changed to use kstrdup_const].
