Once a topic is in 'next', we update by queuing a new patch on top,
so [1] is not quite sufficient.

As to the "char *" -> "const char *", I didn't check if there are
places where we use the variable as "char *" and need changes other
than the place the variable is defined to prevent compilers from
complaining on type mismatches when I made the observation, out of
which you made the change.  In any case, "const char *" may be
safer, but the code as posted is not wrong per-se, and I do not see
it so urgent to fix.

The blank line also better sits between the decls and the first
statement, but I do not see it so urgent to fix with an immediate
patch, forging your sign-off and writing log message myself.  It
is something we can safely leave for a separate clean-up topic after
the dust settles.

Thanks.
