| |
3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ezequiel Garcia <elezegarcia@gmail.com>
commit 380e99fc44d79bc35af9ff1d3316ef4027ce775e upstream.
The strcpy was being used to set the name of the board. Since the destination char* was read-only and the name is set statically at compile time; this was both wrong and redundant.
The type of char* is changed to const char* to prevent future errors.
