This patch breaks the Intel SOF CI in spectacular ways, with the widgets
names completely garbled with noise such as

host-copier.5.playbackpid.socket
host-copier.5.playbackrt@linux.intel.com>
dai-copier.HDA.iDisp3.playbackrun_t:s0
host-copier.31.playback\xff`\x86\xba\x034\x89\xff\xff@N\x83\xb83\x89\xff\xff\x10\x84\xe9\x8b\xff\xff\xff\xffS\x81ی\xff\xff\xff\xff\x0f

I am going to revert this patchset in the SOF tree.

    ASoC: topology: Fix references to freed memory

    Most users after parsing a topology file, release memory used by it, so
    having pointer references directly into topology file contents is wrong.
    Use devm_kmemdup(), to allocate memory as needed.
