Maybe the const **parents argument could be const * const * That could change a lot of declarations through. You could also ignore checkpatch.

Okay, for now, I will ignore the checkpatch warning for this case. Thanks, Joe. Shawn

I'm not > sure which warning we should ignore, the sparse or the checkpatch one. I think both scripts/programs are right. There is a difference. static const char const * step_sels[] = { "osc", "pll2_pfd2", }; /* dup */ static const char * const step_sels[] = { "osc", "pll2_pfd2", }; /* ok */ static char const * const step_sels[] = { "osc", "pll2_pfd2", }; /* ok */ I think that 'type const * const' is a const pointer to const data, but 'const type const *' is just a const pointer (with duplicate). The patches have made the data non-const? Fwiw, Bill Pringlemeir.

The > patches have made the data non-const? Sorry, that patch is correct. It just removed the duplicate 'const', but checkpatch is right to recommend the 'const * const' as the strings could be put in a read-only section.

To fix the checkpatch warning, we will need to change a lot of function declaration. That's why we ignore it for now. Shawn

There should be no duplicate const specifiers for those static constant character string arrays defined for clock mux options. Also, the arrays are only taken as the 5th argument for the imx_clk_mux() function, which is in the type of 'const char **parents'. So, let's remove the 2nd const specifier right after 'char'.
