Subject: [PATCH v4] staging: greybus: Constify gb_audio_module_type
Date: Fri, 15 Mar 2024 00:18:01 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ZfNGYSC8CDHqVPlm@ayush-HP-Pavilion-Gaming-Laptop-15-ec0xxx> (raw)
Constify static struct kobj_type gb_audio_module_type to prevent
modification of data shared across many instances, ensuring that the
structure's usage is consistent and predictable throughout the driver
and allows the compiler to place it in read-only memory.
The gb_audio_module_type structure is used when initializing and
adding kobj instances to the kernel's object hierarchy.
After adding const, any attempt to alter gb_audio_module_type
in the code is raising a compile-time error. This enforcement
ensures that the sysfs interface and operations for audio
modules remain stable.
