of_device_uevent_modalias() does not modify the device pointer passed to
it, so mark it constant. In order to properly do this, a number of
busses need to have a modalias function added as they were attempting to
just point to of_device_uevent_modalias instead of their bus-specific
modalias function. This is fine except if the prototype for a bus and
device type modalias function diverges and then problems could happen. To
prevent all of that, just wrap the call to of_device_uevent_modalias()
directly for each bus and device type individually.
Why not just put the wrapper function in the DT code instead of making
4 copies of it?
I could, if you think that it would be better there instead of in each
individual bus (like all of the other bus callbacks). This way each bus
"owns" their implementation :)
I'd vote for the generic wrapper instead of 4 similar wrapper. In the
end, if of_device_uevent_modalias (or the bus callback) interface
changes again for whatever reasons, there will be just a single place to
fix rather than fixing 4 (or more) bus drivers.
