Since commit ee6d3dd4ed48 ("driver core: make kobj_type constant.")
the driver core allows the usage of const struct kobj_type.

Take advantage of this to constify the structure definitions to prevent
modification at runtime.

Hi Chao,

Note that, next time, I won't apply/modify any patches merged in -dev,
unless it has a problem.

Hi Jaegeuk,

Oh, any particular reason, to avoid unneeded commit id change when the time is
close to merge window?

Hi Chao,

I'm trying to avoid breaking the -next branch.

Jaegeuk, so why do we need to avoid breaking -next branch? I didn't get it. :-(



Is there any period of grace before merging patches from dev-test branch into dev
branch? Maybe a week is reasonable? so I may have time to catch up in time.

No rule, but I'm trying to wait for several days while running my local tests.
If the patch looks okay, sometimes I'll queue it right away.

Sure, not problem.

Thanks,
