> 
> In function pmd_parse_args(), firmware path is duplicated from device
> arguments as character string, but is never freed, which cause memory leak.
> 
> This patch changes the type of firmware member of struct pmd_params to
> character array, to make memory resource release unnecessary, and
> changes the type of name member to character array, to keep the
> consistency of character string handling in struct pmd_params.
