    Subject: [PATCH] drm: Make the per-driver file_operations struct const
    
    The DRM layer keeps a copy of struct file_operations inside its
    big driver struct... which prevents it from being consistent and static.
    For consistency (and the general security objective of having such things
    static), it's desirable to get this fixed.
    
    This patch splits out the file_operations field to its own struct,
    which is then "static const", and just stick a pointer to this into
    the driver struct, making it more consistent with how the rest of the
    kernel does this.
