I was talking about what you did here:

@@ -109,24 +109,23 @@ static int __init idio_16_probe(struct
platform_device *pdev)
 {
        struct device *dev = &pdev->dev;
        struct idio_16_gpio *idio16gpio;
+       const unsigned base = idio_16_base;
+       const unsigned extent = 8;
+       const char *const name = dev_name(dev);
        int err;

-       const unsigned BASE = idio_16_base;
-       const unsigned EXTENT = 8;
-       const char *const NAME = dev_name(dev);

So this is already done - sorry for not having been clear.
