[PATCH] drm/i915/display: Save a few bytes of memory in intel_backlight_device_register()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



'name' may still be "intel_backlight" when backlight_device_register() is
called.
In such a case, using kstrdup_const() saves a memory duplication when
dev_set_name() is called in backlight_device_register().

Use kfree_const() accordingly.
