It is read only and should not be modified in these functions, > just as cper_print_proc_arm' style. Even if it is used read-only I don't see a real need for const here. So let's change this only if there is a reason such as avoiding unnecessary casts. > >> +const char *cper_mem_err_status_str(u64 status); > > > > The function i/f is different compared to the others, though the > > purpose is the same.

May > we need to move the declaration ahead with cper_severity_str? Right, move it after cper_mem_err_type_str(). Looks good then. Thanks, -Robert
