Yes.

That will produce:

  initialization discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers]

warnings, because  struct ieee80211_supported_band doesn't have these fields
as const. The discarding of const qualifiers is apparently safe in this case,
so I can either cast the pointers to non-const when assigned here:

 270 static const struct ieee80211_supported_band rtw89_sband_2ghz = {
 271         .band           = NL80211_BAND_2GHZ,
 272         .channels       = rtw89_channels_2ghz,
 273         .n_channels     = ARRAY_SIZE(rtw89_channels_2ghz),
 274         .bitrates       = rtw89_bitrates,
 275         .n_bitrates     = ARRAY_SIZE(rtw89_bitrates),
 276         .ht_cap         = {0},
 277         .vht_cap        = {0},
 278 };

Or the code would have to get quite a bit less readable in
rtw89_core_set_supported_band() to duplicate and assign copies of bitrates and
channels there for each supported band individually instead of relying on
a common implementation in rtw89_core_sband_dup() function, and remove
assignments from const ieee80211_supported_band definitions.

Do you have a preference?

kind regards,
	o.
