Interesting. I intentionally asked Daniel to include the modifier because sparse pointed this to me: This patch adds this issue to hisi driver (sparse) drivers/thermal/hisi_thermal.c:398:24: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different modifiers) drivers/thermal/hisi_thermal.c:398:24: expected int ( *platform_probe )( ... ) drivers/thermal/hisi_thermal.c:398:24: got void const * which makes sense to me to be const, given that it is receiving the return of a function which returns a const void *. nclude/linux/of_device.h:extern const void *of_device_get_match_data(const struct device *dev); Cheers,
