checkpatch warns that pointers for certain structs should be const, and platform_suspend_ops is one of those structs. If you follow this suggestion you trade a checkpatch warning for a compiler warning of the form: warning: passing argument 1 of 'suspend_set_ops' discards qualifiers from pointer target type Fix suspend_set_ops() to take a const pointer so everyone expects const.
