Dear Vincent,

Thank you for reviewing,
I will address the issues you mentioned in the next patch.

Excuse me, I would like to confirm, if the variable is constant
initializer, should the declaration be written as:
static const struct nct6694_cmd_header cmd_hd = {
.mod = NCT6694_CAN_MOD,
.cmd = NCT6694_CAN_INFORMATION,
.sel = NCT6694_CAN_INFORMATION_SEL,
.len = cpu_to_le16(sizeof(struct nct6694_can_information))
};
instead of:
static const struct nct6694_cmd_header cmd_hd = {
.mod = NCT6694_CAN_MOD,
.cmd = NCT6694_CAN_INFORMATION,
.sel = NCT6694_CAN_INFORMATION_SEL,
.len = cpu_to_le16(sizeof(*info))
};
, correct?

In addition, does this mean that the parameter in nct6694_read_msg()
and nct6694_write_msg() should be changed to const struct
nct6694_cmd_header *cmd_hd?


Best regards,
Ming
