Subject: [PATCH] drivers: hwmon: remove redundant cast
Date: Sat, 27 Oct 2018 00:30:59 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181026223059.17652-1-linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk> (raw)

struct attribute::name which this local variable name is eventually
assigned to is "const char*", and so is the template parameter. We might
as well preserve the constness all the way through.
