4.20-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Kees Cook <keesc...@chromium.org>
commit 5631e8576a3caf606cdc375f97425a67983b420c upstream.
Yue Hu noticed that when parsing device tree the allocated platform data
was never freed. Since it's not used beyond the function scope, this
switches to using a stack variable instead.
