Subject: [PATCH] iio: Mark iio_device_type as const
Date: Sun, 31 Oct 2021 09:04:21 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211031080421.2086-1-lars@metafoo.de> (raw)
The iio_device_type struct is never modified, mark it as const. This allows
it to be placed in a read-only memory section, which will protect against
accidental or deliberate modification.
Signed-off-by: Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@metafoo.de>
