[PATCH v2 009/101] fbdev/atafb: Duplicate video-mode option string

From: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de>
Date: 2023-03-09 16:03:46
Also in: dri-devel, lkml
Subsystem: framebuffer layer, the rest · Maintainers: Helge Deller, Linus Torvalds

Assume that the driver does not own the option string or its substrings
and hence duplicate the option string for the video mode. Allocate the
copy's memory with devm_kstrdup(), as the driver parses the option string
once per probed device. Linux will automatically free the memory upon
releasing the device.

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