From: Márton Németh <nm127@xxxxxxxxxxx> The match_table field of the struct of_device_id is constant in <linux/of_platform.h> so it is worth to make the 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/of_serial.c b/drivers/serial/of_serial.c --- a/drivers/serial/of_serial.c 2009-12-03 04:51:21.000000000 +0100 +++ b/drivers/serial/of_serial.c 2010-01-08 18:42:19.000000000 +0100 @@ -158,7 +158,7 @@ static int of_platform_serial_remove(str /* * A few common types, add more as needed. */ -static struct of_device_id __devinitdata of_platform_serial_table[] = { +static const struct of_device_id of_platform_serial_table[] __devinitconst = { { .type = "serial", .compatible = "ns8250", .data = (void *)PORT_8250, }, { .type = "serial", .compatible = "ns16450", .data = (void *)PORT_16450, }, { .type = "serial", .compatible = "ns16550a", .data = (void *)PORT_16550A, }, diff -u -p a/drivers/serial/mpc52xx_uart.c b/drivers/serial/mpc52xx_uart.c --- a/drivers/serial/mpc52xx_uart.c 2009-12-03 04:51:21.000000000 +0100 +++ b/drivers/serial/mpc52xx_uart.c 2010-01-08 18:45:41.000000000 +0100 @@ -1088,7 +1088,7 @@ static struct uart_driver mpc52xx_uart_d /* OF Platform Driver */ /* ======================================================================== */ -static struct of_device_id mpc52xx_uart_of_match[] = { +static const struct of_device_id mpc52xx_uart_of_match[] = { #ifdef CONFIG_PPC_MPC52xx { .compatible = "fsl,mpc5200-psc-uart", .data = &mpc52xx_psc_ops, }, /* binding used by old lite5200 device trees: */ diff -u -p a/drivers/serial/uartlite.c b/drivers/serial/uartlite.c --- a/drivers/serial/uartlite.c 2009-12-03 04:51:21.000000000 +0100 +++ b/drivers/serial/uartlite.c 2010-01-08 18:47:33.000000000 +0100 @@ -25,7 +25,7 @@ #include <linux/of_platform.h> /* Match table for of_platform binding */ -static struct of_device_id ulite_of_match[] __devinitdata = { +static const struct of_device_id ulite_of_match[] __devinitconst = { { .compatible = "xlnx,opb-uartlite-1.00.b", }, { .compatible = "xlnx,xps-uartlite-1.00.a", }, {} diff -u -p a/drivers/serial/cpm_uart/cpm_uart_core.c b/drivers/serial/cpm_uart/cpm_uart_core.c --- a/drivers/serial/cpm_uart/cpm_uart_core.c 2009-12-03 04:51:21.000000000 +0100 +++ b/drivers/serial/cpm_uart/cpm_uart_core.c 2010-01-08 18:49:48.000000000 +0100 @@ -1355,7 +1355,7 @@ static int __devexit cpm_uart_remove(str return uart_remove_one_port(&cpm_reg, &pinfo->port); } -static struct of_device_id cpm_uart_match[] = { +static const struct of_device_id cpm_uart_match[] = { { .compatible = "fsl,cpm1-smc-uart", }, diff -u -p a/drivers/serial/ucc_uart.c b/drivers/serial/ucc_uart.c --- a/drivers/serial/ucc_uart.c 2010-01-07 19:08:45.000000000 +0100 +++ b/drivers/serial/ucc_uart.c 2010-01-08 18:50:15.000000000 +0100 @@ -1475,7 +1475,7 @@ static int ucc_uart_remove(struct of_dev return 0; } -static struct of_device_id ucc_uart_match[] = { +static const struct of_device_id ucc_uart_match[] = { { .type = "serial", .compatible = "ucc_uart", diff -u -p a/drivers/serial/apbuart.c b/drivers/serial/apbuart.c --- a/drivers/serial/apbuart.c 2010-01-07 19:08:45.000000000 +0100 +++ b/drivers/serial/apbuart.c 2010-01-08 18:51:23.000000000 +0100 @@ -576,7 +576,7 @@ static int __devinit apbuart_probe(struc } -static struct of_device_id __initdata apbuart_match[] = { +static const struct of_device_id apbuart_match[] __initconst = { { .name = "GAISLER_APBUART", }, -- 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
