    commit 5516e21a
    
     upstream.
    
    Currently a crash can be seen if we reach the "err"
    label in dmi_add_platform_ipmi(), calling
    platform_device_put(), like here:

    This is because when the device is released in
    platform_device_release(), we try to free
    pdev.driver_override. This is a const string, hence
    the crash.
    Fix by using dynamic memory for pdev->driver_override.

    [Removed the free of driver_override from ipmi_si_remove_by_dev().  The
     free is done in platform_device_release(), and would result in a double
     free, and ipmi_si_remove_by_dev() is called by non-platform devices.]
