From 8e53b0f190af2954309bbad76a78177ead15d824 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexandre Courbot Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2014 17:16:31 +0900 Subject: gpio: remove const modifier from gpiod_get_direction() MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Although gpiod_get_direction() can be considered side-effect free for consumers, its internals involve setting or clearing bits in the affected GPIO descriptor, for which we need to force-cast the const descriptor variable to non-const. This could lead to incorrect behavior if the compiler decides to optimize here, so remove this const attribute. The intent is to make gpiod_get_direction() private anyway, so it does not really matter.
