Now that we are down to one caller, which does not even modify copied
device info, we can remove the mkwrite_device_info helper and convert the
device info pointer itself to be a pointer to static table instead of a
copy.

The copy was deliberate to avoid the extra pointer. How does the change
in code size now compare?

AFAIR grows a bit, but overall series still ends up overall smaller. I need to re-run the numbers for more concrete info.

However, if we keep having a copy, ie. do not make device info properly read-only, are we still interested in splitting the two? Benefit would be diminished, but presumably people still think it would be worth it?

Regards,

Tvrtko
