From cf04a4c764cd3e651a64b3e667bb6a673ead99e1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2008 02:22:14 -0700 Subject: netdev: use const for some name functions dev_change_name and netdev_drivername should use const char on parameters that are read-only input values. The strcpy to newname is not needed since newname is not used later in function. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S.
