Want me to do the same thing here as well?
It would be nice to have a shared macro code gen all of the above instead of copy and pasting it. Then maybe other cases beyond struct device could adopt const too..
I think I tried to create such a beast, but failed, so ended up open-coding it in a few places in the USB headers already. I can try it again, but the redirection gets tricky (defines creating defines...)
