There is a newer version of this series
[PATCH 2/4] powerpc: ps3: make ps3_system_bus_type const
Posted by Ricardo B. Marliere 2 years ago
Now that the driver core can properly handle constant struct bus_type,
move the ps3_system_bus_type variable to be a constant structure as
well, placing it into read-only memory which can not be modified at
runtime.
