From b8ac9fc0e8cda9f9776019c5b0464b0c6d2d4c90 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Rothwell Date: Fri, 12 Dec 2008 11:44:21 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] uio: make uio_info's name and version const These are only ever assigned constant strings and never modified. This was noticed because Wolfram Sang needed to cast the result of of_get_property() in order to assign it to the name field of a struct uio_info.
