[PATCH v4 11/11] rpmsg: Fix kfree() of static memory on setting driver_override

Krzysztof Kozlowski krzysztof.kozlowski at canonical.com
Sat Mar 12 14:28:56 CET 2022


The driver_override field from platform driver should not be initialized
from static memory (string literal) because the core later kfree() it,
for example when driver_override is set via sysfs.

Use dedicated helper to set driver_override properly.

Fixes: 950a7388f02b ("rpmsg: Turn name service into a stand alone driver")
Fixes: c0cdc19f84a4 ("rpmsg: Driver for user space endpoint interface")
