This change introduces a compiler error:
hw/arm/virt.c: In function ‘create_flash’:
hw/arm/virt.c:568:16: error: passing argument 1 of ‘g_free’ discards ‘const’
qualifier from pointer target type [-Werror]
g_free(fn);
^
/usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/gmem.h:69:7: note: expected ‘gpointer’ but argument
is of type ‘const char *’
void g_free (gpointer mem);
^
This is because just a few lines above, `fn' variable
is declared as `const char *', which obviously should
not be used with any *free() functions.
The solution is to remove `const' from the variable
declaration.
And a much more general solution is to actually test
patches before submitting them. You obviously did not
test this series, having 3 errors in 9 patches, ie,
1/3 of your patches does not work...
Thanks,
