commit 6c2f421174273de8f83cde4286d1c076d43a2d35 upstream.
Several core drivers and buses expect that driver_override is a
dynamically allocated memory thus later they can kfree() it.
However such assumption is not documented, there were in the past and
there are already users setting it to a string literal. This leads to
kfree() of static memory during device release (e.g. in error paths or
during unbind):

Provide a helper which clearly documents the usage of driver_override.
This will allow later to reuse the helper and reduce the amount of
duplicated code.
Convert the platform driver to use a new helper and make the
driver_override field const char (it is not modified by the core).
