[PATCH 1/2] devres: provide devm_kstrdup_const()

From: Bartosz Golaszewski
Date: Mon Aug 27 2018 - 04:21:42 EST


Provide a resource managed version of kstrdup_const(). This variant
internally calls devm_kstrdup() on pointers that are outside of
.rodata section. Also provide a corresponding version of devm_kfree().
