checkpatch: prefer static const declarations
There are about 100,000 uses of 'static const <type>' but about 400 uses of 'static <type> const' in the kernel where type is not a pointer. The kernel almost always uses "static const" over "const static" as there is a compiler warning for that declaration style. But there is no compiler warning for "static <type> const". So add a checkpatch warning for the atypical declaration uses of. const static <type> <foo> and static <type> const <foo> For example: $ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f --emacs --quiet --nosummary -types=static_const arch/arm/crypto/aes-ce-glue.c arch/arm/crypto/aes-ce-glue.c:75: WARNING: Move const after static - use 'static const u8' #75: FILE: arch/arm/crypto/aes-ce-glue.c:75: + static u8 const rcon[] = { Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/4b863be68e679546b40d50b97a4a806c03056a1c.camel@perches.com Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
