Subject: [PATCH] x86/bugs: Fix return type of spectre_bhi_state()
Date: Tue,  9 Apr 2024 16:08:05 -0700
Message-Id: <20240409230806.1545822-1-daniel.sneddon@linux.intel.com>

The definition of spectre_bhi_state() incorrectly returns a const char
* const.  This causes the a compiler warning when building with W=1.

 warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type [-Wignored-qualifiers]
 2812 | static const char * const spectre_bhi_state(void)

Remove the const qualifier from the pointer.

Fixes: ec9404e40e8f ("x86/bhi: Add BHI mitigation knob")
