ACPI, APEI, HEST Fix the unsuitable usage of platform_data
platform_data in hest_parse_ghes() is used for saving the address of entry information of erst_tab. When the device is failed to be added, platform_data will be freed by platform_device_put(). But the value saved in platform_data should not be freed here. If it is done, it will make system panic. So I think platform_data should save the address of allocated memory which saves entry information of erst_tab. This patch fixed it and I confirmed it on x86_64 next-tree. v2: Transport the pointer of hest_hdr to platform_data using platform_device_add_data() Signed-off-by: Jin Dongming <jin.dongming@np.css.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
