From f8c7511db009d42e2c24e48eeb04e3f1b67ab209 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Ricardo B. Marliere" Date: Tue, 5 Mar 2024 16:32:16 -0300 Subject: block: make block_class constant Since commit 43a7206b0963 ("driver core: class: make class_register() take a const *"), the driver core allows for struct class to be in read-only memory, so move the block_class structure to be declared at build time placing it into read-only memory, instead of having to be dynamically allocated at boot time.
