It would be useful to mark instances of v4l2_subdev_state structures as const when code needs to access them read-only. This isn't currently possible, as the v4l2_subdev_state_get_*() accessor functions take a non-const pointer to the state. Use _Generic() to provide two different versions of the accessors, for const and non-const states respectively. The former returns a const pointer to the requested format, rectangle or interval, implementing const-correctness. The latter returns a non-const pointer, preserving the current behaviour for drivers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
