Subject: [PATCH] dma: dma-sysfs: make dma_subsys const

Now that the driver core can properly handle constant struct bus_type,
move the dma_subsys variable to be a constant structure as well,
placing it into read-only memory which can not be modified at runtime.

Thanks for your patch. I will merge it into my linux-sh this weekend
after returning from FOSDEM, either this evening or tomorrow.

Thanks,
Adrian

Hi John,

thanks for reviewing. I was wondering if your tree should be listed
under SUPERH in the MAINTAINERS file? I didn't find it there and had to
do some searching.

All the best,
- Ricardo.

You're absolutely right. I got my tree set up after I was added to the
MAINTAINERS file, so I eventually forgot to add the URL to my tree.

I will send a patch this week to correct that. Thanks for the heads-up!

Adrian
