The res_config structs are not modified in this driver.
Constifying these structures moves some data to a read-only section, so
increase overall security, especially when the structure holds some function
pointers.
On a x86_64, with allmodconfig, as an example:
Before:
======
text data bss dec hex filename
36777 2479 4304 43560 aa28 drivers/edac/igen6_edac.o
After:
=====
text data bss dec hex filename
37297 1959 4304 43560 aa28 drivers/edac/igen6_edac.o

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.
