[PATCH 0/2] constify inet6_protocol structures

From: Julia Lawall
Date: Fri Jul 28 2017 - 16:45:13 EST


The inet6_protocol structure is only passed as the first argument to
inet6_add_protocol or inet6_del_protocol, both of which are declared as
const. Thus the inet6_protocol structure itself can be const.

Done with the help of Coccinelle.
