Subject: [PATCH v2] powerpc: vas-api: constify dynamic struct class in coproc api register
Date: Sun, 8 Mar 2026 22:46:31 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260308214634.1215051-1-jkoolstra@xs4all.nl> (raw)
The class_create() call has been deprecated in favor of class_register()
as the driver core now allows for a struct class to be in read-only
memory.
In vas_register_coproc_api() the dynamic allocation of the struct class
corresonding to the coprocessor type (right now only nx-gzip) is
replaced by calling
static const struct class* cop_to_class(enum vas_cop_type cop)
which links the coprocessor type to the appropriate static const struct
class.
Compile tested only.
