We can just convert cariables declared as 'struct hpt_info' to const too -- they are read-only templates.

Generally "__devinitdata" is better than "const", since it means that the data may be thrown away.

   Agreed.

So if you drop one over the other,

   No, just add 'const' to already __devinitdata data to make gcc happy again.

it's generally the "const" that should be dropped ;/

Well, this may break when/if we need to add __devinitdata that is actually r/w -- not likely with this driver but still...
