The patch spi: spi-mem: Constify spi_mem->name has been applied to the spi tree at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/spi.git All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted. You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed. If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing patches will not be replaced. Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying to this mail. Thanks, Mark >From 401c0d7712eb3189023efc9c0708a2ac984ed62e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Boris Brezillon <boris.brezillon@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 3 Aug 2018 11:50:39 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] spi: spi-mem: Constify spi_mem->name There is no reason to make spi_mem->name modifiable. Moreover, spi_mem_ops->get_name() returns a const char *, which generates a gcc warning when assigning the value returned by spi_mem_ops->get_name() to spi_mem->name.
