Now that the driver core allows for struct class to be in read-only
Hello Greg, When you say "Now", has anything changed recently that facilitates this improvement?
Yes. Well, it showed up in the 6.4 kernel, so not that long ago.
Where can I read more about this change?
Running: git log --oneline --author=gregkh v6.3..v6.4 drivers/base/ will show you the some of work that happened here to make this possible. There was work done to the driver core, and the kobject core in earlier kernel releases that the changes in 6.4 built on top of.
thanks,
