Hi,
It seems that const cannot be (officialy) mixed with __{dev}initdata,
include/linux/init.h:
...
*
* Also note, that this data cannot be "const".
*/
...
[ BTW Greg: this doesn't seem to be mentioned in LDD3. ]
Any reason for this limitation (other than not having .init.rodata section
and __const__{dev}initdata tag)? There are places where we really would like
to have both, i.e. struct ide_port_info in drivers/ide.
Quick and lame grep on the current git tree results in 81 (besides 32 in
drivers/ide) occurences of const + "initdata". Probably most work because
of the unreliable-in-the-long-term workaround (if driver's .init.data section
contains only read-only data the whole section becomes READONLY and the
driver builds fine), some have const commented out currently but some may
actually fail to build with CONFIG_HOTPLUG=n:
