Subject: [PATCH RFC 07/10] driver core: make struct bus_type groups members constant arrays
Date: Tue, 17 Feb 2026 23:30:17 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4a2389ed-6ea4-4cff-aad6-a5a9f9bd13e7@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <5d0951ec-42c9-453f-9966-ecca593c4153@kernel.org>
Constify the groupss arrays, allowing to assign constant arrays.
As a prerequisite this requires to constify the groups array argument
in few functions.
