From ef16259088f99c5997e198561bdcbb89ab70fd0f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 14:12:47 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] extcon: realtek: Remove const from type_c_cfg allocation type In preparation for making the devm_kmalloc family of allocators type aware, we need to make sure that the returned type from the allocation matches the type of the variable being assigned. (Before, the allocator would always return "void *", which can be implicitly cast to any pointer type.) The assigned type is "struct type_c_cfg *", but the converted allocation type would be "const struct type_c_cfg *", as the size was taken from the local "type_c_cfg", which points to const as it comes from of_device_get_match_data(). As there is no general way to remove const qualifiers, take the size from the assignment target instead. No change in allocation size results.
