[PATCH 2/3] dwc_eth_qos: constify net_device_ops structures

From: Julia Lawall
Date: Thu Sep 15 2016 - 16:42:23 EST


Check for net_device_ops structures that are only stored in the netdev_ops
field of a net_device structure. This field is declared const, so
net_device_ops structures that have this property can be declared as const
also.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@r disable optional_qualifier@
identifier i;
position p;
@@
static struct net_device_ops i@p = { ... };

@ok@
identifier r.i;
struct net_device e;
position p;
@@
e.netdev_ops = &i@p;

@bad@
position p != {r.p,ok.p};
identifier r.i;
struct net_device_ops e;
@@
e@i@p

@depends on !bad disable optional_qualifier@
identifier r.i;
@@
static
+const
struct net_device_ops i = { ... };
// </smpl>

The result of size on this file before the change is:
text data bss dec hex filename
21623 1316 40 22979 59c3
drivers/net/ethernet/synopsys/dwc_eth_qos.o

and after the change it is:
text data bss dec hex filename
22199 724 40 22963 59b3
drivers/net/ethernet/synopsys/dwc_eth_qos.o
