From fe4f86affd43076b2b28da6eaf9341428ae94787 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Gustavo A. R. Silva" Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2017 13:15:19 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] pinctrl: st: constify gpio_chip structure This structure is only used to copy into other structure, so declare it as const. This issue was detected using Coccinelle and the following semantic patch: @r disable optional_qualifier@ identifier i; position p; @@ static struct gpio_chip i@p = { ... }; @ok@ identifier r.i; expression e; position p; @@ e = i@p; @bad@ position p != {r.p,ok.p}; identifier r.i; struct gpio_chip e; @@ e@i@p @depends on !bad disable optional_qualifier@ identifier r.i; @@ static +const struct gpio_chip i = { ... }; In the following log you can see a significant difference in the code size and data segment, hence in the dec segment. This log is the output of the size command, before and after the code change: before: text data bss dec hex filename 21671 3632 128 25431 6357 drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-st.o after: text data bss dec hex filename 21366 3576 128 25070 61ee drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-st.o Signed-off-by: Gustavo A.
