Hello, Writing a driver using SCLPC on the MPC5200B I detected, that the intspec arrays to map irqs to Linux virq cannot be const, because the mapping and xlate functions only take non const pointers. All those functions do not modify the intspec, so a const pointer could be used.
BTW, if you're interested, there is a driver for the SCLPC FIFO about to be merged into 2.6.33. It's in Ben's tree waiting to be pulled into mainline. Cheers, g. -- Grant Likely, B.Sc., P.Eng. Secret Lab Technologies Ltd.
