From: Márton Németh <nm127@xxxxxxxxxxx> The ids field of the struct acpi_driver is constant in <linux/acpi/acpi_bus.h> so it is worth to make the initialization data also constant. The semantic match that finds this kind of pattern is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @r@ disable decl_init,const_decl_init; identifier I1, I2, x; @@ struct I1 { ... const struct I2 *x; ... }; @s@ identifier r.I1, y; identifier r.x, E; @@ struct I1 y = { .x = E, }; @c@ identifier r.I2; identifier s.E; @@ const struct I2 E[] = ... ; @depends on !c@ identifier r.I2; identifier s.E; @@ + const struct I2 E[] = ...; // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Márton Németh <nm127@xxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> Cc: cocci@xxxxxxx --- diff -u -p a/drivers/acpi/power.c b/drivers/acpi/power.c --- a/drivers/acpi/power.c 2009-12-03 04:51:21.000000000 +0100 +++ b/drivers/acpi/power.c 2010-01-08 15:02:32.000000000 +0100 @@ -65,7 +65,7 @@ static int acpi_power_remove(struct acpi static int acpi_power_resume(struct acpi_device *device); static int acpi_power_open_fs(struct inode *inode, struct file *file); -static struct acpi_device_id power_device_ids[] = { +static const struct acpi_device_id power_device_ids[] = { {ACPI_POWER_HID, 0}, {"", 0}, }; diff -u -p a/drivers/acpi/power_meter.c b/drivers/acpi/power_meter.c --- a/drivers/acpi/power_meter.c 2009-12-03 04:51:21.000000000 +0100 +++ b/drivers/acpi/power_meter.c 2010-01-08 15:03:09.000000000 +0100 @@ -64,7 +64,7 @@ static int can_cap_in_hardware(void) return force_cap_on || cap_in_hardware; } -static struct acpi_device_id power_meter_ids[] = { +static const struct acpi_device_id power_meter_ids[] = { {"ACPI000D", 0}, {"", 0}, }; diff -u -p a/drivers/acpi/pci_link.c b/drivers/acpi/pci_link.c --- a/drivers/acpi/pci_link.c 2009-12-03 04:51:21.000000000 +0100 +++ b/drivers/acpi/pci_link.c 2010-01-08 15:03:22.000000000 +0100 @@ -56,7 +56,7 @@ ACPI_MODULE_NAME("pci_link"); static int acpi_pci_link_add(struct acpi_device *device); static int acpi_pci_link_remove(struct acpi_device *device, int type); -static struct acpi_device_id link_device_ids[] = { +static const struct acpi_device_id link_device_ids[] = { {"PNP0C0F", 0}, {"", 0}, }; diff -u -p a/drivers/acpi/pci_root.c b/drivers/acpi/pci_root.c --- a/drivers/acpi/pci_root.c 2010-01-07 19:08:39.000000000 +0100 +++ b/drivers/acpi/pci_root.c 2010-01-08 15:06:03.000000000 +0100 @@ -46,7 +46,7 @@ static int acpi_pci_root_add(struct acpi static int acpi_pci_root_remove(struct acpi_device *device, int type); static int acpi_pci_root_start(struct acpi_device *device); -static struct acpi_device_id root_device_ids[] = { +static const struct acpi_device_id root_device_ids[] = { {"PNP0A03", 0}, {"", 0}, }; -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
