Subject: [PATCH] interconnect: Remove a useless kfree_const() usage

"path->name" is allocated in of_icc_get_by_index() using kasprintf(), so
there is no point in using kfree_const() to free it.

Switch to the more standard kfree() to free this.

Compile tested only.

This is not a bug fix.
kfree_const() works fine here, but is useless. It is equivalent to kfree().

Before commit 1597d453289b3 ("interconnect: Add of_icc_get_by_index()
helper function"), using kfree_const() was needed.

For the records, this patch is a clean-up effort related to discussions at:
