From aed65af1cc2f6fc9ded5a8158f1405a02cf6d2ff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Mon, 28 Mar 2011 09:12:52 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] drivers: make device_type const The device_type structure does not contain data that changes during usage and should be const. This allows devices to declare the struct const. I have patches to change all the subsystems, but need the infra structure change first.
