As Russell King's explained it, there should not be pointers to struct device_node: "struct device_node is a ref-counted structure. That means if you store a reference to it, you should "get" it, and you should "put" it once you've done. The act of "put"ing the pointed-to structure involves writing to that structure, so it is totally unappropriate to store a device_node structure as a const pointer. It forces you to have to cast it back to a non-const pointer at various points in time to use various OF function calls." [This isn't quite the application here, we're not geting or putting the pointer though we did add some other users who call non-const OF functions -- broonie] Signed-off-by: Jean-Francois Moine <moinejf@free.fr> Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org> |
