[PATCH v2] wifi: ath12k: Constify struct ath12k_dp_arch_ops
From: Christophe JAILLET
Date: Tue Jul 14 2026 - 04:40:31 EST
'struct ath12k_dp_arch_ops' is not modified in this driver.
Constifying this structure moves some data to a read-only section, so
increases overall security, especially when the structure holds some
function pointers.
On a x86_64, with allmodconfig, as an example:
Before:
======
text data bss dec hex filename
6318 3384 0 9702 25e6 drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath12k/wifi7/dp.o
After:
=====
text data bss dec hex filename
6478 3224 0 9702 25e6 drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath12k/wifi7/dp.o
