[PATCH 01/12] net: usbnet: constify the struct device_type usage
Posted by Ricardo B. Marliere 1 year, 11 months ago
Since commit aed65af1cc2f ("drivers: make device_type const"), the driver
core can properly handle constant struct device_type. Move the wlan_type
and wwan_type variables to be constant structures as well, placing it into
read-only memory which can not be modified at runtime.
