[PATCH 3/6] net: bcmgenet: constify ethtool_ops structures

From: Julia Lawall <hidden>
Date: 2016-08-31 07:49:22
Also in: kernel-janitors, lkml
Subsystem: broadcom genet ethernet driver, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Doug Berger, Florian Fainelli, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

Check for ethtool_ops structures that are only stored in the ethtool_ops
field of a net_device structure or passed as the second argument to
netdev_set_default_ethtool_ops.  These contexts are declared const, so
ethtool_ops structures that have these properties can be declared as const
also.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>

identifier i;

static struct ethtool_ops i@p = { ... };
