This code is supposed to loop over the whole board_type[] string.  The
current code kind of works just because ascii values start 97 and the
string is likely shorter than that so it will break when we hit the NUL
terminator.  But really the condition should be "i < len" instead of
"i < board_type[i]".

It should probably just use strreplace() though :)
Good point.  I'll send a v2.
and the 2 lines above look like a devm_kstrdup.

The (unlikely) malloc failure test is also missing.
It turns out that Smatch checks for allocation failure were really
ancient and really crap...  I need to add all devm_ functions.
Probably should re-write all that code.

Also originally GFP_NOFAIL was 0x800 and now it is 0x8000.  Smatch
was out of sync.  So the functions that were supposed to be checked
were all disabled...  Need to figure out a better way to do that as
well.
