[PATCH v3 0/9] usb: storage: Mark various arrays as const

From: Jonathan Neuschäfer via B4 Relay
Date: Fri Feb 28 2025 - 10:12:01 EST


While reading code, I noticed that some arrays in USB mass storage
drivers are declared static but not const, even though they are not
modified. This patchset marks them const.

All patches were compile-tested.
