[PATCH] misc: hpilo: make ilo_class a static const structure

From: Ivan Orlov
Date: Thu Aug 10 2023 - 15:42:55 EST


Now that the driver core allows for struct class to be in read-only
memory, move the ilo_class structure to be declared at build time
placing it into read-only memory, instead of having to be dynamically
allocated at boot time.
