[PATCH 4/5] r8152: constify ethtool_ops structures

From: Julia Lawall
Date: Wed Aug 31 2016 - 18:40:07 EST


Check for ethtool_ops structures that are only stored in the ethtool_ops
field of a net_device structure or passed as the second argument to
netdev_set_default_ethtool_ops. These contexts are declared const, so
ethtool_ops structures that have these properties can be declared as const
also.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

static struct ethtool_ops i@p = { ... };
