commit 2618a0dae09ef37728dab89ff60418cbe25ae6bd upstream. With GCC 12, -Wstringop-overread was warning about an implicit cast from char[6] to char[8]. However, the extra 2 bytes are always thrown away, alignment doesn't matter, and the risk of hitting the edge of unallocated memory has been accepted, so this prototype can just be converted to a regular char *.

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.
