FYI we'll merge this once we've done a backmerge to get the hwmon
changes to our tree.

BR,

There are no dependencies. hwmon changes are already in rc1.

That's what I'm saying, drm-intel-next doesn't have rc1. :)

Pushed to drm-intel-next, thanks for the patch.

Btw if you want to further make things const, the compound literals
defined by HWMON_CHANNEL_INFO() still end up mutable, even if they're
only referenced inline using a const pointer. If possible, would be nice
to add const there too.

BR,
Jani.

Krzysztof, can I persuade you to follow up on this one? ;)

With HWMON_CHANNEL_INFO defined like this:

#define HWMON_CHANNEL_INFO(stype, ...)	\
	(&(struct hwmon_channel_info) {	\
		.type = hwmon_##stype,	\
		.config = (u32 []) {	\
			__VA_ARGS__, 0	\
		}			\
	})

and initializers like this all over the kernel:

static const struct hwmon_channel_info * const hwm_info[] = {
	HWMON_CHANNEL_INFO(in, HWMON_I_INPUT),
	HWMON_CHANNEL_INFO(power, HWMON_P_MAX | HWMON_P_RATED_MAX | HWMON_P_CRIT),
	HWMON_CHANNEL_INFO(energy, HWMON_E_INPUT),
	HWMON_CHANNEL_INFO(curr, HWMON_C_CRIT),
	NULL
};

You'll actually end up with *mutable non-const* struct
hwmon_channel_info's being allocated in .data sections, and having the
const pointers in the arrays point at the mutable stuff. Check with
readelf or objdump.

To put all of it in .rodata, you'd need to make the compound literals
const too:

 #define HWMON_CHANNEL_INFO(stype, ...)	\
-	(&(struct hwmon_channel_info) {	\
+	(&(const struct hwmon_channel_info) {	\
 		.type = hwmon_##stype,	\

But I'm not up for going throw all of the use sites to see if they can
all be const.

Jani.
