This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    btrfs: remove duplicate const specifier

to the 4.4-stable tree which can be found at:
    http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary

The filename of the patch is:
     btrfs-remove-duplicate-const-specifier.patch
and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory.

If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree,
please let [off-list ref] know about it.

This patch IMO does not belong to stable, it's just a cleanup and does
not fix anything that's worth the time of anybody involved in stable trees.

On the contrary, it fixes a build warning in the tree, and having lots
of warnings hides real problems.  The tree used to build "clean" with
gcc6, but now that my build systems are running gcc7, stuff like this
needs to get cleaned up again.

So this is a needed fix.

thanks,
