From e443f3acbc6d9ac4f7b138833cc93319294f58e3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Ricardo B. Marliere" Date: Sat, 17 Feb 2024 17:13:28 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] net: geneve: constify the struct device_type usage Since commit aed65af1cc2f ("drivers: make device_type const"), the driver core can properly handle constant struct device_type. Move the geneve_type variable to be a constant structure as well, placing it into read-only memory which can not be modified at runtime. Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Ricardo B.
