[PATCH 28/36] driver core: make the bus_type in struct device_driver constant

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Mar 13 2023 - 14:32:41 EST


The pointer to struct bus_type in struct device_driver should only be
pointing to something that can never change now that the driver core has
fixed up the previously writable fields. So mark it as a constant
pointer to enforce this and move forward with the goal of moving
bus_type into read-only memory.
