Subject: [PATCH] pinctrl: coh901: constify gpio_chip structure
Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2017 16:35:19 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170711213519.GA3391@embeddedgus> (raw)

This structure is only used to copy into another structure, so declare
it as const.

This issue was detected using Coccinelle and the following semantic patch:

@r disable optional_qualifier@
identifier i;
position p;
@@
static struct gpio_chip i@p = { ... };

@ok@
identifier r.i;
expression e;
position p;
@@
e = i@p;

@bad@
position p != {r.p,ok.p};
identifier r.i;
struct gpio_chip e;
@@
e@i@p

@depends on !bad disable optional_qualifier@
identifier r.i;
@@
static
+const
 struct gpio_chip i = { ... };

In the following log you can see a significant difference in the code size
and data segment, hence in the dec segment. This log is the output
of the size command, before and after the code change:

before:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  12775    3696      64   16535    4097 drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-coh901.o

after:
            bss     dec     hex filename
  12440    3640      64   16144    3f10 drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-coh901.o
