There are two bugs here:
1) devm_kzalloc() needs to be checked for allocation errors.
2) The loop was intended to be:

 Bad:	for (i = 0; i < board_type[i]; i++) {
Good:	for (i = 0; i < len; i++) {

Neither of these bugs are likely to cause an issue in practice but
they're worth fixing.  Also the code could be made simpler by using the
devm_kstrdup() and strreplace() functions.

v2: Basically a completely different patch.  :)

The error handling here seems to be lacking, specifically
this error-exit path needs a of_node_put(root); call (or
a "goto put;" or some such)
Good catch.  I will add a call to of_node_put().
