From: Shawn Guo Date: Mon, 4 Jul 2011 01:01:18 +0000 (+0800) Subject: dt: add 'const' for of_property_read_string parameter **out_string X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f09bc831b7693f93ecb95dea7180d55b45b88e76;p=linux-beck.git dt: add 'const' for of_property_read_string parameter **out_string The existing dt codes usually call of_get_property to get a string property and save it as a 'const char *'. The patch adds'const' for of_property_read_string parameter **out_string to make the converting of existing code a little easier.
