[PATCH] firmware: arm_scmi: quirk: fix write to string constant

The quirk version range is typically a string constant and must not be
modified (e.g. as it may be stored in read-only memory):
Unable to handle kernel write to read-only memory at virtual
address ffffc036d998a947
Fix the range parsing so that it operates on a copy of the version range
string, and mark all the quirk strings as const to reduce the risk of
introducing similar future issues.
Closes: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=220437
Fixes: 487c407d57d6 ("firmware: arm_scmi: Add common framework to handle firmware quirks")
