[PATCH] iommu: make kobj_type structure constant
Posted by Thomas Weißschuh 2 years, 6 months ago
Since commit ee6d3dd4ed48 ("driver core: make kobj_type constant.")
the driver core allows the usage of const struct kobj_type.

Take advantage of this to constify the structure definition to prevent
modification at runtime.

Should be fixed for some time.
(After this patch, though)

Thanks for the hint!
