'struct i2c_algorithm' is not modified in this driver. Constifying this structure 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 6645 216 16 6877 1add drivers/media/common/b2c2/flexcop-i2c.o After: ===== text data bss dec hex filename 6721 160 16 6897 1af1 drivers/media/common/b2c2/flexcop-i2c.o Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr> Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl>
