From ext-phil.2.carmody@nokia.com Fri Dec 18 11:56:54 2009 From: Phil Carmody Date: Fri, 18 Dec 2009 15:34:20 +0200 Subject: Driver core: bin_attribute parameters can often be const* To: gregkh@suse.de Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Message-ID: <1261143261-399-3-git-send-email-ext-phil.2.carmody@nokia.com> Many struct bin_attribute descriptors are purely read-only structures, and there's no need to change them. Therefore make the promise not to, which will let those descriptors be put in a ro section.
