Hi,

This is a continuation of my old patchset from 2019. [1]
Back then, few drivers set driver_override wrong. I fixed Exynos
in a different way after discussions. QCOM NGD was not fixed
and a new user appeared - IMX SCU.

It seems "char *" in driver_override looks too consty, so we
tend to make a mistake of storing there string literals.

Changes since latest v2
=======================
1. Make all driver_override fields as "const char *", just like SPI
   and VDPA. (Mark)
2. Move "count" check to the new helper and add "count" argument. (Michael)
3. Fix typos in docs, patch subject. Extend doc. (Michael, Bjorn)
4. Compare pointers to reduce number of string readings in the helper.
5. Fix clk-imx return value.

Changes since latest v1 (not the old 2019 solution):
====================================================
https://lore.kernel.org/all/708eabb1-7b35-d525-d4c3-451d4a3de84f@rasmusvillemoes.dk/
1. Add helper for setting driver_override.
2. Use the helper.

Dependencies (and stable):
==========================
1. All patches, including last three fixes, depend on the first patch
   introducing the helper.
2. The last three commits - fixes - are probably not backportable
   directly, because of this dependency. I don't know how to express
   this dependency here, since stable-kernel-rules.rst mentions only commits as
   possible dependencies.

Best regards,
