From ee6d3dd4ed48ab24b74bab3c3977b8218518247d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wedson Almeida Filho Date: Fri, 24 Dec 2021 23:13:45 +0000 Subject: driver core: make kobj_type constant. This way instances of kobj_type (which contain function pointers) can be stored in .rodata, which means that they cannot be [easily/accidentally] modified at runtime.
