&lt;linux/mod_devicetable.h&gt; is included in a many files:

	$ git grep '&lt;linux/mod_devicetable.h&gt;' ef0c9f75a195 | wc -l
	1598

; some of them are widely used headers. To stop mixing up different and
unrelated driver( type)s let the subsystem headers only use the subset
of the recently split &lt;linux/mod_devicetable.h&gt; that are relevant for
them.

The fallout (I hope) is addressed in the previous commits that handle
sources relying on e.g. &lt;linux/i2c.h&gt; pulling in the full legacy header
and thus providing pci_device_id.

GCC 15's -Wunterminated-string-initialization saw that "id" was not
including the required trailing NUL character. Instead of marking "id"
with __nonstring[1], expand the length of the string as it is used in
(debugging) format strings that expect a properly formed C string.

<title>driver core: have match() callback in struct bus_type take a const *</title>

<content type='text'>
In the match() callback, the struct device_driver * should not be
changed, so change the function callback to be a const *.  This is one
step of many towards making the driver core safe to have struct
device_driver in read-only memory.

Because the match() callback is in all busses, all busses are modified
to handle this properly.  This does entail switching some container_of()
calls to container_of_const() to properly handle the constant *.

For some busses, like PCI and USB and HV, the const * is cast away in
the match callback as those busses do want to modify those structures at
this point in time (they have a local lock in the driver structure.)
That will have to be changed in the future if they wish to have their
struct device * in read-only-memory.

The pnp_bus_type is defined only when CONFIG_PNP=y, while being
not guarded by ifdeffery in the header. Moreover, it's not used
outside of the PNP code. Move it to the internal header to make
sure no-one will try to (ab)use it.

Since we have a dev_is_pnp() macro that utilises the address of the
pnp_bus_type variable, the users, which can be compiled as modules,
will fail to build. Convert the macro to be a function and export it
to the modules to prevent build breakage.
