[PATCH] video/chips: constify fb_fix_screeninfo and fb_var_screeninfo structures

From: Gustavo A. R. Silva <hidden>
Date: 2017-07-08 01:15:57
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: framebuffer layer, the rest · Maintainers: Helge Deller, Linus Torvalds

These structures are only used to copy into other structures,
so declare them as const.

This issue was detected using Coccinelle and the following semantic patch:

@r disable optional_qualifier@
identifier i;
position p;
@@
static struct fb_fix_screeninfo i@p = { ... };

@ok@
identifier r.i;
expression e;
position p;
@@
e = i@p

@bad@
position p != {r.p,ok.p};
identifier r.i;
struct fb_fix_screeninfo e;
@@
e@i@p

@depends on !bad disable optional_qualifier@
identifier r.i;
@@
static
+const
 struct fb_fix_screeninfo i = { ... };

The semantic patch for fb_var_screeninfo is analogous.
