From: Márton Németh <nm127@xxxxxxxxxxx> The id_table field of the struct usb_device_id is constant in <linux/usb.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 --- --- linux/drivers/usb/image/mdc800.c.orig 2010-01-10 15:04:28.000000000 +0100 +++ linux/drivers/usb/image/mdc800.c 2010-01-10 15:05:46.000000000 +0100 @@ -967,7 +967,7 @@ -static struct usb_device_id mdc800_table [] = { +static const struct usb_device_id mdc800_table[] = { { USB_DEVICE(MDC800_VENDOR_ID, MDC800_PRODUCT_ID) }, { } /* Terminating entry */ }; --- linux/drivers/usb/image/microtek.c.orig 2010-01-10 15:04:28.000000000 +0100 +++ linux/drivers/usb/image/microtek.c 2010-01-10 15:10:52.000000000 +0100 @@ -155,7 +155,7 @@ const struct usb_device_id *id); static void mts_usb_disconnect(struct usb_interface *intf); -static struct usb_device_id mts_usb_ids []; +static const struct usb_device_id mts_usb_ids[]; static struct usb_driver mts_usb_driver = { .name = "microtekX6", @@ -656,7 +656,7 @@ /* The entries of microtek_table must correspond, line-by-line to the entries of mts_supported_products[]. */ -static struct usb_device_id mts_usb_ids [] = +static const struct usb_device_id mts_usb_ids[] = { { USB_DEVICE(0x4ce, 0x0300) }, { USB_DEVICE(0x5da, 0x0094) }, -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
