We disagree.

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"

But your choice, you can change it if you choose.

Reduce data usage about 1KB by using const.

Please remove below type casting:

The compiler is quiet about this so I believe this to be
an unrelated change and whitespace correction.
I know compiler doesn't warn this, but it looks wired to cast 'const u8 *'
to 'u8 *' to 'const u8 *'.

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
