I like knowing what content is changed via patch subject lines as there are 3 rtlwifi drivers being changed by this one patch.If 3 drivers are needed to be listed, I'd use below subject "rtlwifi: Use const in rtl8188ee/rtl8723be/rtl8821ae swing_table declarations"quoted
But your choice, you can change it if you choose.quoted

Of course you could modify it if you choose. btw: There's an unnecessary return at the 2nd instance of this cast removal too.It seems like to copy from rtl8812ae_get_delta_swing_table(), so I can remove it by another patch.
Two patches are sent: rtlwifi: 8821ae: remove unused path B parameters from swing table rtlwifi: Use const in 8188ee/8723be/8821ae swing_table declarations --- Thanks PK
