Subject: [PATCH v2 01/11] driver: platform: add and use helper for safer setting of driver_override
Date:   Wed, 23 Feb 2022 20:13:00 +0100

Several core drivers and buses expect that driver_override is a
dynamically allocated memory thus later they can kfree() it.

However such assumption is not documented, there were in the past and
there are already users setting it to a string literal. This leads to
kfree() of static memory during device release (e.g. in error paths or
during unbind):

Provide a helper which clearly documents the usage of driver_override.
This will allow later to reuse the helper and reduce amount of
duplicated code.
