[PATCH v2] regmap: potentially duplicate the name string stored in regmap

From: Bartosz Golaszewski
Date: Wed Dec 13 2017 - 11:25:40 EST


Currently we just copy over the pointer passed to regmap_init() in
the regmap config struct. To be on the safe side: duplicate the string
with kstrdup_const() so that if an unaware user passes an address to
a stack-allocated buffer, we won't crash.

v1 -> v2:
- drop the patches that were either applied or done by Mark
- fix an error path
- use kstrdup_const() instead of kstrdup() to avoid unnecessary memory
allocations
