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.
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.
