The commit commit f991de53a8ab ("thermal: make device_register's type argument const") changed APIs, but only when CONFIG_THERMAL enabled case. This patch is partial from https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/5/14/631 which tries to address the same concern, Signed-off-by: Wei Wang <wvw@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Documentation/driver-api/thermal/sysfs-api.rst | 4 ++-- include/linux/thermal.h | 6 +++--- 2 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/thermal/sysfs-api.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/thermal/sysfs-api.rst index fab2c9b36d08..0ef337417922 100644 --- a/Documentation/driver-api/thermal/sysfs-api.rst +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/thermal/sysfs-api.rst @@ -39,7 +39,7 @@ temperature) and throttle appropriate devices. :: struct thermal_zone_device - *thermal_zone_device_register(char *type, + *thermal_zone_device_register(const char *type, int trips, int mask, void *devdata, struct thermal_zone_device_ops *ops, const struct thermal_zone_params *tzp, @@ -221,7 +221,7 @@ temperature) and throttle appropriate devices. :: struct thermal_cooling_device - *thermal_cooling_device_register(char *name, + *thermal_cooling_device_register(const char *name, void *devdata, struct thermal_cooling_device_ops *) This interface function adds a new thermal cooling device (fan/processor/...) diff --git a/include/linux/thermal.h b/include/linux/thermal.h index e45659c75920..ee235a29294e 100644 --- a/include/linux/thermal.h +++ b/include/linux/thermal.h @@ -501,12 +501,12 @@ static inline void thermal_zone_device_update(struct thermal_zone_device *tz, static inline void thermal_zone_set_trips(struct thermal_zone_device *tz) { } static inline struct thermal_cooling_device * -thermal_cooling_device_register(char *type, void *devdata, +thermal_cooling_device_register(const char *type, void *devdata, const struct thermal_cooling_device_ops *ops) { return ERR_PTR(-ENODEV); } static inline struct thermal_cooling_device * -thermal_of_cooling_device_register(struct device_node *np, - char *type, void *devdata, const struct thermal_cooling_device_ops *ops) +thermal_of_cooling_device_register(struct device_node *np, const char *type, + void *devdata, const struct thermal_cooling_device_ops *ops) { return ERR_PTR(-ENODEV); } static inline struct thermal_cooling_device * devm_thermal_of_cooling_device_register(struct device *dev, -- 2.23.0.700.g56cf767bdb-goog
