From: Mischa Jonker Date: Tue, 4 Jun 2013 09:45:48 +0000 (+0200) Subject: perf: Add const qualifier to perf_pmu_register's 'name' arg X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=03d8e80beb7db78a13c192431205b9c83f7e0cd1;p=linux-beck.git perf: Add const qualifier to perf_pmu_register's 'name' arg This allows us to use pdev->name for registering a PMU device. IMO the name is not supposed to be changed anyway.
