It was the only one of the drivers/nvmem/ to do that. Three other drivers use a pattern where they merge read and write operations into a single access function with a type=read/write parameter, so const safety can’t work there and I’ll continue casting from const void * to void * in the write function to keep that pattern working. > > -- > With Best Regards, > Andy Shevchenko > > -- Link Mauve
