Re: [PATCH v2 00/25] make *struct of_device_id.data const
Hello, this is the 2nd version of this series whose goal is to make struct of_device_id.data const. Conceptually a driver must not modify the data contained there so making it const is the right thing. I rebased my branch at: git://git.pengutronix.de/git/ukl/linux.git ofdeviceiddata on top of v3.6-rc1 and retested the arm and powerpc defconfigs and a powerpc allyesconfig. The result is still the same, i.e. a new warning in drivers/regulator/twl-regulator.c because the probe routine modifies the of_match table. The series was contained in next up to next-20120725 (as commit 100e8f5 (Merge branch 'ofdeviceiddata' of git://git.pengutronix.de/git/ukl/linux into late/warnings) with an encoding error in the commit log btw). Don't know why it was dropped from next. (late/warnings didn't show up in next-20120725's arch/arm/arm-soc-for-next-contents.txt, maybe that's the reason?) Compared to v2 of the series this drops two patches that made it in during the v3.6 merge window. The following changes since commit 0d7614f09c1ebdbaa1599a5aba7593f147bf96ee: Linux 3.6-rc1 (2012-08-02 16:38:10 -0700) are available in the git repository at: git://git.pengutronix.de/git/ukl/linux.git ofdeviceiddata for you to fetch changes up to e22bd8177efeec9463dc2fc40bd172c717d0bd07: can: mpc5xxx_can: make data used as *of_device_id.data const (2012-08-03 13:58:41 +0200) Arnd Bergmann (6): watchdog/mpc8xxx: add a const qualifier powerpc/fsl_msi: drop unneeded cast to non-const pointer mfd/da9052: make i2c_device_id array const i2c/mpc: make data used as *of_device_id.data const macintosh/mediabay: make data used as *of_device_id.data const can: mpc5xxx_can: make data used as *of_device_id.data const Uwe Kleine-König (17): spi/imx: make spi_imx_data.devtype_data member point to const data spi/spi-omap2-mcspi: add a const qualifier serial/imx: make imx_port.devdata member point to const data serial/mpc52xx_uart: add a const qualifier ARM: cache-l2x0: add a const qualifier misc/atmel_tc: make atmel_tc.tcb_config member point to const data gpio/gpio-omap.c: add a const qualifier gpio/mpc8xxx: add a const qualifier i2c/i2c-omap: add a const qualifier i2c/mpc: add a const qualifier mmc/omap_hsmmc: add a const qualifier macintosh/mediabay: add a const qualifier powerpc/83xx: add a const qualifier powerpc/fsl_msi: add a const qualifier powerpc/celleb_pci: add a const qualifier of: add const to struct *of_device_id.data gpio/gpio-omap: make platformdata used as *of_device_id.data const arch/arm/mm/cache-l2x0.c |2 +- arch/powerpc/platforms/83xx/suspend.c|2 +- arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/celleb_pci.c |2 +- arch/powerpc/sysdev/fsl_msi.c|8 drivers/gpio/gpio-mpc8xxx.c |2 +- drivers/gpio/gpio-omap.c |8 drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-mpc.c | 12 ++-- drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-omap.c|3 ++- drivers/macintosh/mediabay.c |8 drivers/mfd/da9052-i2c.c |4 ++-- drivers/mmc/host/omap_hsmmc.c|2 +- drivers/net/can/mscan/mpc5xxx_can.c |4 ++-- drivers/spi/spi-imx.c|2 +- drivers/spi/spi-omap2-mcspi.c|2 +- drivers/tty/serial/imx.c |2 +- drivers/tty/serial/mpc52xx_uart.c|2 +- drivers/watchdog/mpc8xxx_wdt.c |2 +- include/linux/atmel_tc.h |2 +- include/linux/mod_devicetable.h |2 +- 19 files changed, 36 insertions(+), 35 deletions(-) -- Pengutronix e.K. | Uwe Kleine-König| Industrial Linux Solutions | http://www.pengutronix.de/ | -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

Conceptually a driver must not modify the data contained there so making it const is the right thing. v1 of this series was sent with Message-id: 1342182734-321-1-git-send-email-y. Changes since then are: - powerpc fixes - several new consts that were found by Arnd that are possible after patch 19. Arnd suggested to take this series via arm-soc late for 3.6 in one go because patch 19 depends on the former patches but is a precondition to the latter and it fixes a few warnings. So getting it in via the respective maintainer trees would need a much bigger coordination effort. That means I prefer getting Acks over you taking the patch. Vinod Koul already took dmaengine: at_hdmac: add a few const qualifiers that is in next-20120723 as 7fd63ccdad72 now. Vinod, I don't follow your pull requests, but assuming you didn't let it already pull for 3.6 I suggest you drop it from your queue and I just take your Ack. This series was build tested for arm (all defconfigs) and powerpc (all defconfigs and an allyesconfig) and grep didn't find more issues. As before it introduces a warning in drivers/regulator/twl-regulator.c. This driver does modify its .of_match_table when a device is bound which doesn't fits the concept of independant devices. Arnd noticed another new warning in drivers/scsi/qlogicpti.c that isn't that easy to resolve, because the pointer to (now) const data is passed as first argument to scsi_host_alloc. To fix that properly struct Scsi_Host.hostt needs to get a const, too. Alternatively I could introduce a cast removing the const, but I don't like that. This series is also available at: git://git.pengutronix.de/git/ukl/linux.git ofdeviceiddata and I will modify it there for the Acks I'm getting. Pulled the entire series into arm-soc/late/warnings. Thanks everyone who provided Acks. I'll wait for a few more days to let this sit in linux-next and if nobody complains, Olof or I will forward it to Linus.
