Subject[PATCH] blkdev: make struct block_device_operations.devnode() take a const *
Date
The devnode() callback in struct block_device_operations should not be
modifying the device that is passed into it, so mark it as a const * and
propagate the function signature changes out into the one subsystem that
actually uses this callback.

Jens, I have some dependent kobject/driver core changes that require
this change in the works. Can I take this through the driver core tree
for 6.2-rc1?
