Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] nfc: hci: Save a few bytes of memory when registering a 'nfc_llc' engine
Date: Sat,  3 Feb 2024 08:51:04 +0100

nfc_llc_register() calls pass a string literal as the 'name' parameter.

So kstrdup_const() can be used instead of kfree() to avoid a memory
allocation in such cases.
