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.
