const_structs.checkpatch: add pinctrl_ops and pinmux_ops

2020-10-16T18:11:21+00:00

All usages of include/linux of these are const pointers, and all instances in the kernel except one, that are not const can be made const (patches have been posted for those separately).

const_structs.checkpatch: add phy_ops

2020-10-16T18:11:21+00:00

All usages of phy_ops in include/linux uses const phy_ops * and all instances of phy_ops in the kernel that are not const already can be made const (patches have been posted for those separately).

const_structs.checkpatch: add frequently used from Julia Lawall's list

2016-10-11T22:06:30+00:00

Using const is generally a good idea. Julia Lawall has created a list of always const and almost always const structs in the kernel sources. Link: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/8/28/95 Add the most frequently used (> 50 cases) that are almost always or always const.
