[PATCH 38/46] sysfs: Make dir and name args to sysfs_notify() const

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Oct 16 2008 - 13:28:57 EST


From: Trent Piepho <tpiepho@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Because they can be, and because code like this produces a warning if
they're not:

struct device_attribute dev_attr;

sysfs_notify(&kobj, NULL, dev_attr.attr.name);
