From: Márton Németh <nm127@xxxxxxxxxxx> The match_table field of the struct of_device_id is constant in <linux/of_platform.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/crypto/talitos.c b/drivers/crypto/talitos.c --- a/drivers/crypto/talitos.c 2009-12-03 04:51:21.000000000 +0100 +++ b/drivers/crypto/talitos.c 2010-01-08 14:16:24.000000000 +0100 @@ -1958,7 +1958,7 @@ err_out: return err; } -static struct of_device_id talitos_match[] = { +static const struct of_device_id talitos_match[] = { { .compatible = "fsl,sec2.0", }, diff -u -p a/drivers/crypto/amcc/crypto4xx_core.c b/drivers/crypto/amcc/crypto4xx_core.c --- a/drivers/crypto/amcc/crypto4xx_core.c 2009-12-03 04:51:21.000000000 +0100 +++ b/drivers/crypto/amcc/crypto4xx_core.c 2010-01-08 14:16:45.000000000 +0100 @@ -1274,7 +1274,7 @@ static int __exit crypto4xx_remove(struc return 0; } -static struct of_device_id crypto4xx_match[] = { +static const struct of_device_id crypto4xx_match[] = { { .compatible = "amcc,ppc4xx-crypto",}, { }, }; -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-crypto" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
