Greetings,
I'm fixing some issues on the staging/netlogic directory and I see that checkpatch.pl is throwing the following warnings on some files:
*WARNING: struct should normally be const#9: FILE: platform_net.h:9:+struct xlr_net_data {*
A similar issue is reported when we declare a variable of type struct <something>, but in this case warning is reported on the struct definition itself.
How can we fix this?
You mark the structures const in the correct places as needed. Sometimes it is not needed, checkpatch is just a perl script and tries to do the best it can. Please read up on how C uses const if you are unfamiliar with what that means. thanks, greg k-h
