            Bug ID: 216588
           Summary: head -312942 via amd64-xtoolchain-gcc:
                    dev/mlx5/mlx5_en/mlx5_en_ethtool.c:675:9: error:
                    assignment of read-only variable 'entry'
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---

When I attempted to buildworld buildkernel for
-r312942 via use of amd64-xtoolchain-gcc it
stopped with:

--- all_subdir_mlx5en ---

/usr/src/sys/dev/mlx5/diagnostics.h shows:

struct mlx5_core_diagnostics_entry {
        const char *const desc;
        u16     counter_id;
};

Note the const between * and desc: the pointer is
declared to be constant.

/usr/src/sys/dev/mlx5/mlx5_en/mlx5_en_ethtool.c
shows:

static void
mlx5e_create_diagnostics(struct mlx5e_priv *priv)
{
        struct mlx5_core_diagnostics_entry entry;
. . .
        for (x = 0; x != MLX5_CORE_PCI_DIAGNOSTICS_NUM; x++) {
                entry = mlx5_core_pci_diagnostics_table[x];
. . .
        }

        /* create general diagnostics */
        for (x = 0; x != MLX5_CORE_GENERAL_DIAGNOSTICS_NUM; x++) {
                entry = mlx5_core_general_diagnostics_table[x];
 . .
        }
}

which involves assignments to constant pointers: the
desc value is supposed to be constant.
