Change ff6d365898d ("soc: qcom: qmi: use const for struct qmi_elem_info") allows QMI message encoding/decoding rules to be const. So now update the definitions in the various client to take advantage of this. Patches for ath10k and ath11k were perviously sent separately.
I have had this on my "to-do list" for ages. The commit you mention updates the code to be explicit about not modifying this data, which is great.
I scanned over the changes, and I assume that all you did was make every object having the qmi_elem_info structure type be defined as constant.
Why aren't you changing the "ei_array" field in the qmi_elem_info structure to be const? Or the "ei" field of the qmi_msg_handler structure? And the qmi_response_type_v01_ei array (and so on)?
I like what you're doing, but can you comment on what your plans are beyond this series? Do you intend to make the rest of these fields const?
Hi Alex, My primary focus is the ath* wireless drivers, and my primary goal was to make the tables there const. So this series, along with the two out-of-series patches for ath10k and ath11k complete that scope of work.
The lack of the other changes to the QMI data structures is simply due to me not looking in depth at the QMI code beyond the registration interface.
I'll be happy to revisit this as a separate cleanup.
Sounds good to me. Like I said I've wanted to do this myself, and as long as you've gotten this far I'd like to see it taken to completion. Compile-testing is most likely sufficient to make sure you got it right.
I cherry-picked the one commit, and downloaded the series and found no new build warnings. Checkpatch would prefer you used "ff6d365898d4" rather than "ff6d365898d" for the commit ID, but that's OK.
Anyway, for the whole series:
