ipmi: use dynamic memory for DMI driver override
commit 5516e21 upstream. Currently a crash can be seen if we reach the "err" label in dmi_add_platform_ipmi(), calling platform_device_put(), like here: [ 7.270584] (null): ipmi:dmi: Unable to add resources: -16 [ 7.330229] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 7.334889] kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:3894!

This is a const string, hence the crash. Fix by using dynamic memory for pdev->driver_override. Signed-off-by: John Garry <[email protected]> [Removed the free of driver_override from ipmi_si_remove_by_dev(). The free is done in platform_device_release(), and would result in a double free, and ipmi_si_remove_by_dev() is called by non-platform devices.] Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]>
