This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tpm: constify transmit data pointers to the 4.9-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: tpm-constify-transmit-data-pointers.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From c37fbc09bd4977736f6bc4050c6f099c587052a7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 7 Sep 2017 15:30:45 +0200 Subject: tpm: constify transmit data pointers From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> commit c37fbc09bd4977736f6bc4050c6f099c587052a7 upstream. Making cmd_getticks 'const' introduced a couple of harmless warnings: drivers/char/tpm/tpm_tis_core.c: In function 'probe_itpm': drivers/char/tpm/tpm_tis_core.c:469:31: error: passing argument 2 of 'tpm_tis_send_data' discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Werror=discarded-qualifiers] rc = tpm_tis_send_data(chip, cmd_getticks, len); drivers/char/tpm/tpm_tis_core.c:477:31: error: passing argument 2 of 'tpm_tis_send_data' discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Werror=discarded-qualifiers] rc = tpm_tis_send_data(chip, cmd_getticks, len); drivers/char/tpm/tpm_tis_core.c:255:12: note: expected 'u8 * {aka unsigned char *}' but argument is of type 'const u8 * {aka const unsigned char *}' static int tpm_tis_send_data(struct tpm_chip *chip, u8 *buf, size_t len) This changes the related functions to all take 'const' pointers so that gcc can see this as being correct. I had to slightly modify the logic around tpm_tis_spi_transfer() for this to work without introducing ugly casts.
