From: Márton Németh <nm127@xxxxxxxxxxx> The id_table field of the struct pci_driver is constant in <linux/pci.h> so it is worth to make initialization data also constant. The semantic match that finds this kind of pattern is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @r@ disable decl_init,const_decl_init; identifier I1, I2, x; @@ struct I1 { ... const struct I2 *x; ... }; @s@ identifier r.I1, y; identifier r.x, E; @@ struct I1 y = { .x = E, }; @c@ identifier r.I2; identifier s.E; @@ const struct I2 E[] = ... ; @depends on !c@ identifier r.I2; identifier s.E; @@ + const struct I2 E[] = ...; // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Márton Németh <nm127@xxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> Cc: cocci@xxxxxxx --- diff -u -p a/drivers/serial/8250_pci.c b/drivers/serial/8250_pci.c --- a/drivers/serial/8250_pci.c 2009-12-03 04:51:21.000000000 +0100 +++ b/drivers/serial/8250_pci.c 2010-01-08 18:40:05.000000000 +0100 @@ -2567,7 +2567,7 @@ static int pciserial_resume_one(struct p } #endif -static struct pci_device_id serial_pci_tbl[] = { +static const struct pci_device_id serial_pci_tbl[] = { /* Advantech use PCI_DEVICE_ID_ADVANTECH_PCI3620 (0x3620) as 'PCI_SUBVENDOR_ID' */ { PCI_VENDOR_ID_ADVANTECH, PCI_DEVICE_ID_ADVANTECH_PCI3620, PCI_DEVICE_ID_ADVANTECH_PCI3620, 0x0001, 0, 0, diff -u -p a/drivers/serial/jsm/jsm_driver.c b/drivers/serial/jsm/jsm_driver.c --- a/drivers/serial/jsm/jsm_driver.c 2010-01-07 19:08:45.000000000 +0100 +++ b/drivers/serial/jsm/jsm_driver.c 2010-01-08 18:41:09.000000000 +0100 @@ -218,7 +218,7 @@ static void __devexit jsm_remove_one(str kfree(brd); } -static struct pci_device_id jsm_pci_tbl[] = { +static const struct pci_device_id jsm_pci_tbl[] = { { PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_DIGI, PCI_DEVICE_ID_NEO_2DB9), 0, 0, 0 }, { PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_DIGI, PCI_DEVICE_ID_NEO_2DB9PRI), 0, 0, 1 }, { PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_DIGI, PCI_DEVICE_ID_NEO_2RJ45), 0, 0, 2 }, -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-serial" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
