+Subject: [PATCH] gphoto2: fix const qualifier violations
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+No logic is changed. The patch is a pure
+type-correctness fix that makes the variable
+declarations match the actual semantics —
+const char * for pointers into string literals
+or function parameters that must not be mutated,
+and char * only for owned heap memory. This
+satisfies Clang's strict qualifier checking without
+needing any casts or warning suppressions.
+
+Fixes errors seen on clang with
+  -Werror,-Wincompatible-pointer-types-discards-qualifiers
+
+Upstream-Status: Pending
