John Garry 5516e21a1e ipmi: use dynamic memory for DMI driver override
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.]

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
