This structure is only used to copy into other structure, so declare it as const. This issue was detected using Coccinelle and the following semantic patch: @r disable optional_qualifier@ identifier i; position p; @@ static struct gpio_chip i@p = { ... }; @ok@ identifier r.i; expression e; position p; @@ e = i@p; @bad@ position p != {r.p,ok.p}; identifier r.i; struct gpio_chip e; @@ e@i@p @depends on !bad disable optional_qualifier@ identifier r.i; @@ static +const struct gpio_chip i = { ... }; In the following log you can see a significant difference in the code size and data segment, hence in the dec segment. This log is the output of the size command, before and after the code change: before: text data bss dec hex filename 18958 9000 128 28086 6db6 drivers/pinctrl/bcm/pinctrl-bcm2835.o after: text data bss dec hex filename 18764 8912 128 27804 6c9c drivers/pinctrl/bcm/pinctrl-bcm2835.o Signed-off-by: Gustavo A.
