[PATCH v3 4/9] usb: storage: datafab: Use const for constant arrays

From: Jonathan Neuschäfer via B4 Relay
Date: Fri Feb 28 2025 - 10:12:02 EST


From: Jonathan Neuschäfer <j.ne@xxxxxxxxxx>

These arrays are only read, not modified.

Declaring data as const makes it easier to see what's going on, and can
prevent unintended writes through placement in a read-only section.

Signed-off-by: Jonathan Neuschäfer <j.ne@xxxxxxxxxx>

V3:
- elaborate why const is a good idea

V2:
- new patch
