Hi all,
After merging the net-next tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
ppc64_defconfig) produced this warning:

316580b69d0a ("u64_stats: provide u64_stats_t type")
Powerpc folks: is there some reason that local_read() cannot take a
const argument?
I have added this patch (which builds fine) for today:

I have sent this patch two days ago, I do not believe I had any answer from ppc maintainers.

Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: add const qual to local_read() parameter
A patch in net-next triggered a compile error on powerpc.
This seems reasonable to relax powerpc local_read() requirements.
Fixes: 316580b69d0a ("u64_stats: provide u64_stats_t type")
