This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled kobject: modify kobject_get_path() to take a const * to the 6.1-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: kobject-modify-kobject_get_path-to-take-a-const.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 5aca5f6a8d2c8b9b26a506420fa422547b2b5e90 Author: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Oct 1 18:53:15 2022 +0200 kobject: modify kobject_get_path() to take a const * [ Upstream commit 33a0a1e3b3d17445832177981dc7a1c6a5b009f8 ] kobject_get_path() does not modify the kobject passed to it, so make the pointer constant.
