In the match() callback, the struct device_driver * should not be changed, so change the function callback to be a const *. This is one step of many towards making the driver core safe to have struct device_driver in read-only memory. Because the match() callback is in all busses, all busses are modified to handle this properly. This does entail switching some container_of() calls to container_of_const() to properly handle the constant *. For some busses, like PCI and USB and HV, the const * is cast away in the match callback as those busses do want to modify those structures at this point in time (they have a local lock in the driver structure.) That will have to be changed in the future if they wish to have their struct device * in read-only-memory. Cc: Rafael J.

Broadcom introduced new bus as replacement for older SSB. It is based on AMBA, however from programming point of view there is nothing AMBA specific we use. Standard AMBA drivers are platform specific, have hardcoded addresses and use AMBA standard fields like CID and PID. In case of Broadcom's cards every device consists of: 1) Broadcom specific AMBA device. It is put on AMBA bus, but can not be treated as standard AMBA device. Reading it's CID or PID can cause machine lockup. 2) AMBA standard devices called ports or wrappers. They have CIDs (AMBA_CID) and PIDs (0x103BB369), but we do not use that info for anything. One of that devices is used for managing Broadcom specific core. Addresses of AMBA devices are not hardcoded in driver and have to be read from EPROM. In this situation we decided to introduce separated bus. It can contain up to 16 devices identified by Broadcom specific fields: manufacturer, id, revision and class.
