In the quest to make 'struct bus_type' constant and in read-only memory, we need to stop using the private pointer to the subsys_private structure. First step in doing this is to create a helper function that turns a 'struct bus_type' into 'struct subsys_private' called bus_to_subsys(). bus_to_subsys() walks the list of registered busses in the system and finds the matching one based on the pointer to the bus_type itself. As this is a short list, and this function is not on any fast path, it should not be noticable. Implement bus_get() and bus_put() using this new helper function. Cc: "Rafael J.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
