PATCH 1/1 staging: rtl8188eu: core: constify local structure

Constify the static struct RTW_CHANNEL_PLAN_MAP_REALTEK_DEFINE.

The only other instance was one of its properties being assigned to a variable:
Index2G = RTW_CHANNEL_PLAN_MAP_REALTEK_DEFINE.Index2G;

Therefore this is a good candidate for constification.

Running size did not show any difference:
Before/After:

text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
44122     408    2974   47504    b990

Lastly, break up the long line to fix the checkpatch warning and conform to kernel coding style.

This is not a good sign. It suggests that you have not actually compiled the lines of code that you changed.

It is a little bit strange that a structure is declared to only contain the number 3.

I wonder if something else is going on?

That is indeed strange, I don't understand why that happened. I tried it again, and got this:

It is a little bit strange that a structure is declared to only contain the number 3.

Yeah, this is how it's defined:

struct rt_channel_plan_map {
       unsigned char   Index2G;
}; 

Is it unconventional to have a struct with
only one member? I guess it could just be an unsigned char. Perhaps it is to differentiate it from the other variable that is also called Index2G so maybe he's using it as a namespace.

if (RT_CHANNEL_DOMAIN_REALTEK_DEFINE == ChannelPlIndex2G)

	Index2G = RTW_CHANNEL_PLAN_MAP_REALTEK_DEFINE.Index2G;
else
	Index2G = RTW_ChannelPlanMap[ChannelPlan].Index2G;

This is even odder. Now the data size has not changed (it should go down) and the other numbers have changed massively.

I tried it again. The text shouldnt have changed so massively.It should have just gone from 68238 to 68286. The data stays constant at 408. I ran "make allyesconfig drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/" and saw a CC line which confirmed that the specific .o file was compiled. I did ls -lt on the folder to confirm that the .o file was current. No clue why the data isn't going down :/. Could it be because the struct only holds one number?
