Several functions receive pointers to u8, sk_buff or other structs but do not modify the contents so make them const. This allows doing the same for local variables and in total makes the code a little bit safer. This makes const also data passed as "unsigned long opt" argument to nci_request() function. Usual flow for such functions is: 1. Receive "u8 *" and store it (the pointer) in a structure allocated on stack (e.g. struct nci_set_config_param), 2. Call nci_request() or __nci_request() passing a callback function an the pointer to the structure via an "unsigned long opt", 3. nci_request() calls the callback which dereferences "unsigned long opt" in a read-only way. This converts all above paths to use proper pointer to const data, so entire flow is safer.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
