From 48fde90a78f8c67e2bec5061f9725fe363519feb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2018 11:15:31 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] netlink: make validation_data const The validation data is only used within the policy that should usually already be const, and isn't changed in any code that uses it. Therefore, make the validation_data pointer const. While at it, remove the duplicate variable in the bitfield validation that I'd otherwise have to change to const.
