Subject[PATCH] soc: fsl: guts: us devm_kstrdup_const() for RO data
Date
devm_kstrdup() may return NULL if internal allocation failed, but
as machine is from the device tree, and thus RO, devm_kstrdup_const()
can be used here, which will only copy the reference.

Signed-off-by: Nicholas Mc Guire <hofrat@osadl.org>
Fixes: a6fc3b698130 ("soc: fsl: add GUTS driver for QorIQ platforms")

Patch was compile tested with: multi_v7_defconfig (implies FSL_GUTS=y)
