[PATCH 3/5] driver core: class: mark the struct class in struct class_interface constant

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Sun Apr 02 2023 - 13:59:36 EST


The struct class pointer in struct class_interface is never modified, so
mark it as const so that no one accidentally tries to modify it in the
future.
