[PATCH] pinctrl: rza1: constify gpio_chip structure
From: Gustavo A. R. Silva
Date: Tue Jul 11 2017 - 14:23:11 EST
This structure is only used to copy into other structure, so declare
it as const.
This issue was detected using Coccinelle and the following semantic patch:
@r disable optional_qualifier@
identifier i;
position p;
@@
static struct gpio_chip i@p = { ... };
@ok@
identifier r.i;
expression e;
position p;
@@
e = i@p;
@bad@
position p != {r.p,ok.p};
identifier r.i;
struct gpio_chip e;
@@
e@i@p
@depends on !bad disable optional_qualifier@
identifier r.i;

+const
struct gpio_chip i = { ... };
In the following log you can see a significant difference in the code size
and data segment, hence in the dec segment. This log is the output
of the size command, before and after the code change:
