From b7a39bd0afc4021e8ad2b1189e884551e147427f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Woodhouse Date: Fri, 23 May 2008 18:38:49 +0100 Subject: firmware: make fw->data const In preparation for supporting firmware files linked into the static kernel, make fw->data const to ensure that users aren't modifying it (so that we can pass a pointer to the original in-kernel copy, rather than having to copy it).

Other drivers don't use the firmware loader at all, because they always want the firmware to be available. This allows them to start using the firmware loader. A third set of drivers already use the firmware loader, but can't be used without help from userspace, which sometimes requires an initrd. This allows them to work in a static kernel.
