6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Christian Göttsche <cgzones@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 452f4b31e3f70a52b97890888eeb9eaa9a87139a upstream.
The name member of the struct trace_event_call is assigned with
generated string literals; declare them pointer to read-only.
Reported by clang:
