[PATCH 2/2] soc: imx: gpc: Do not pass static memory as platform data

Platform device core assumes the ownership of dev.platform_data as
well as that it is dynamically allocated and it will try to kfree it
as a part of platform_device_release(). Change the code to pass
kzalloc'ed chunk of memory instead of a pointer to a static memory to
avoid causing a BUG() when calling platform_device_put().
The problem can be reproduced by artificially enabling the error path
of platform_device_add() call (around line 452).
