[PATCH] pwm: lp3943: Mark parent device's platform data as const

From: Uwe Kleine-König

Date: Tue Sep 08 2026 - 13:17:34 EST


Platform data should never get modified by a driver. So add a respective
`const` which makes it explicit that the pwm-lp3943 driver indeed
doesn't modify platform data.

Hello,

I found this patch opportunity while reviewing another patch to this
driver[1]. A possible followup is to mark struct lp3943::pdata also as
const. I made a note to address at a later point (i.e. when the mfd tree
contains this patch).

Best regards
Uwe
