Subject: [PATCH] of: declare string literals const
Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2022 19:46:22 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221012174622.45006-1-cgzones@googlemail.com> (raw)

of_overlay_action_name() returns a string literal from a function local
array.  Modifying string literals is undefined behavior which usage of
const pointer can avoid.  of_overlay_action_name() is currently only
used once in overlay_notify() to print the returned value.

While on it declare the data array const as well.
