From akpm@linux-foundation.org Thu Jul 31 10:55:46 2008 From: Jean Delvare Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2008 12:29:21 -0700 Subject: dev_printk(): constify the `dev' argument To: greg@kroah.com Cc: akpm@linux-foundation.org, khali@linux-fr.org Message-ID: <200807301929.m6UJTLUh011927@imap1.linux-foundation.org> From: Jean Delvare Add const markings to dev_name and dev_driver_string to make it clear that dev_printk doesn't modify dev. This is a prerequisite to adding more const markings to other functions make it clearer, which functions can modify dev and which can't.
