From: Jeremy Kerr Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2006 05:42:06 +0000 (+1000) Subject: [POWERPC] Make get_property() return a const void * X-Git-Tag: v2.6.19-rc1~1300^2~72 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=931b261f442e779b0656d9b04c7ffe4939ef8c0a;p=linux-2.6 [POWERPC] Make get_property() return a const void * Previous changes have treated the return values of get_property as const, so now we can make the actual change to get_property(). There shouldn't be a need to cast the return values anymore. We will now get compiler warnings when property values are assigned to a non-const variable. If properties need to be updated, there's still the of_find_property function. Built for cell_defconfig, chrp32_defconfig, g5_defconfig, iseries_defconfig, maple_defconfig, pmac32_defconfig, ppc64_defconfig and pseries_defconfig.
