Hi,
It seems that const cannot be (officialy) mixed with __{dev}initdata,

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.
Thank you for asking this question... we really do need a solution for
this.
As you point out, there are many valid cases for both const and initdata.
