Declare ipmi_smi_handlers structures as const as they are only passed as
an argument to the function ipmi_register_smi. This argument is of type
const, so ipmi_smi_handlers structures having similar properties can be
declared const too.
Done using Coccinelle:
@r1 disable optional_qualifier@
identifier i;
position p;

static struct ipmi_smi_handlers i at p={...};
@ok1@
identifier r1.i;
position p;

ipmi_register_smi(&i at p,...)
@bad@
position p!={r1.p,ok1.p};
