From: Daniele Alessandrelli <daniele.alessandrelli@xxxxxxxxx> rproc_alloc_firmware() (called by rproc_alloc()) can allocate rproc->firmware using kstrdup_const() and therefore should be freed using kfree_const(); however, rproc_set_firmware() frees it using the simple kfree(). This causes a kernel oops if a constant string is passed to rproc_alloc() and rproc_set_firmware() is subsequently called. Fix the above issue by using kfree_const() to free rproc->firmware in rproc_set_firmware().
