This structure is only used to copy into another structure, so declare
it as const.
This issue was detected using Coccinelle and the following semantic patch:
@r disable optional_qualifier@
identifier i;

static struct gpio_chip i@p = { ... };
@ok@
identifier r.i;
expression e;

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
12775 3696 64 16535 4097 drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-coh901.o
after:
bss dec hex filename
12440 3640 64 16144 3f10 drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-coh901.o

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
