Subject: [PATCH v2 026/101] fbdev/geode: Duplicate video-mode option string
Date:   Thu,  9 Mar 2023 17:00:46 +0100
Message-Id: <20230309160201.5163-27-tzimmermann@suse.de>
In-Reply-To: <20230309160201.5163-1-tzimmermann@suse.de>

Assume that the drivers do not own the option string or its substrings
and hence duplicate the option string for the video mode. Allocate the
copy's memory with kstrdup() and free it in each module's exit function.

Done in preparation of switching the driver to struct option_iter and
constifying the option string.

v2:
	* replace static memory with kstrdup()/kfree() (Geert)
