Platform driver driver_override field should not be initialized from
const memory because the core later kfree() it. If driver_override is
manually set later through sysfs, kfree() of old value leads to:
$ echo "new_value" > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/.../driver_override
kernel BUG at ../mm/slub.c:3960!
