Subject: [PATCH trivial] arm64: constify hwcap_str
Date: Wed,  6 Nov 2013 17:32:47 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1383755567-17244-1-git-send-email-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> (raw)

Turn hwcap_str from a 'writable array of pointers to const char[]'
to a multidimensional const char[][].

Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org>
---

This is something I noticed when looking at Steve Capper's hwcaps patch: really
no point in having a writable array of 8-byte pointers in .data keeping track of
these hwcap strings.
