[PATCH 07/14] phy: qcom-ufs: Don't kfree devres resource

From: Kishon Vijay Abraham I
Date: Mon Jan 30 2017 - 08:06:43 EST


From: Bjorn Andersson <bjorn.andersson@xxxxxxxxxx>

Upon failing to acquire regulator supplies the qcom-ufs driver calls
kfree() on the devm allocated memory used to store the name of the
regulator, leading to devres corruption.

Rather than switching to using the appropriate free function the patch
acknowledge the fact that "name" is always a constant string and we
don't actually need to create a local copy of it, but rather just
reference the constant string.

Fixes: add78fc05702 ("phy: qcom-ufs: Use devm sibling of kstrdup for regulator names")
