[PATCH 2/5] driver core: class: make class_register() take a const *

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

Now that the class code is cleaned up to not modify the class pointer
registered with it, change class_register() to take a const * to allow
the structure to be placed into read-only memory.
