Aren't you getting any warnings here about dropping the 'const' from
the global structure?
But this is a copy of the contents and not the simple pointer.
In many other places where this is done, the struct is declared like:
static const struct gpio_chip template_chip = {
After internal review, I changed this to:
static const struct gpio_chip tps65219_gpio_chip = {
This is because I didn't want to have this "template" that sounds to me
like "dummy". Maybe I misunderstood and this "template" was used on
purpose because this const struct is just copied once to initialize
tps65219_gpio->gpio_chip during probe.
Introducing tps65219_gpio_chip name is maybe confusing with
tps65219_gpio struct.
I think the const should not be a problem here but the naming I used
might be misleading. If you have a suggestion of what is a good practice
to make this piece of code clearer. I'll follow your suggestion (use
template? more_explicit name like ???).
Thanks for your time.
