Hi Greg,
Today's linux-next build (x86_64 allmodconfig) produced this warning:
drivers/firewire/core-device.c: In function 'init_fw_attribute_group':
drivers/firewire/core-device.c:315: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type
Introduced by commit 025a6a26b70e5dc12ab9333ea43d70c735f459ac ("driver
model: constify attribute groups").

And from a PowerPC allyesconfig build:

Here's a single patch:
=================== CUT HERE
From: David Brownell <[email protected]>
Some more attribute group pointers need to become const-friendly:
drivers/firewire/core-device.c:315: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type
drivers/mtd/mtdcore.c:227: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type
drivers/block/cciss.c:582: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type
Two of these post-date the original constification patch; not sure
how I missed Firewire the first time.
