From: Stanislav Kinsburskii <stanislav.kinsburskii@xxxxxxxxx> These helper function - virt_to_phys - doesn't need the address pointer to be mutable. In the same time expecting it to be mutable leads to the following build warning for constant pointers: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘virt_to_phys’ discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type Signed-off-by: Stanislav Kinsburskii <stanislav.kinsburskii@xxxxxxxxx> CC: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> CC: Helge Deller <deller@xxxxxx> CC: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> CC: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> CC: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@xxxxxxxxxx> CC: Stanislav Kinsburskii <stanislav.kinsburskii@xxxxxxxxx> CC: linux-ia64@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --- arch/ia64/include/asm/io.h | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/arch/ia64/include/asm/io.h b/arch/ia64/include/asm/io.h index 83a492c8d298..c56ad21ba1e9 100644 --- a/arch/ia64/include/asm/io.h +++ b/arch/ia64/include/asm/io.h @@ -74,7 +74,7 @@ extern unsigned int num_io_spaces; * Change virtual addresses to physical addresses and vv. */ static inline unsigned long -virt_to_phys (volatile void *address) +virt_to_phys (const volatile void *address) { return (unsigned long) address - PAGE_OFFSET; }
