Subject: [PATCH] dax: constify the struct device_type usage
Date: Mon, 19 Feb 2024 09:47:28 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240219-device_cleanup-dax-v1-1-6b319ee89dc2@marliere.net> (raw)

Since commit aed65af1cc2f ("drivers: make device_type const"), the driver
core can properly handle constant struct device_type. Move the
dax_mapping_type variable to be a constant structure as well, placing it
into read-only memory which can not be modified at runtime.
