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! Internal error: Oops - BUG: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM ...

The driver_override was not developed for this purpose so just switch to default names of devices to fix the issue.
