From ad66d503052d51ff9efeab487f41a39816ffc11c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christophe JAILLET Date: Fri, 24 Nov 2023 22:14:36 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] parport: Save a few bytes of memory Most of parport_register_dev_model() callers pass a 'name' that is a constant string. So kstrdup_const() can be used to save the duplication of this string when it is not needed. This saves a few bytes of memory. Use kfree_const() accordingly when this string is freed.
