Yes, the cast casts away a "const", the const is correct
since the data only ever gets read by the regulator driver,
but platform_data pointers are normally not const, so it
is either the cast, or loose the const on the definition
of the struct to which board_data->tps68470_regulator_pdata
points...
So not good choice here really, only chosing between bad
options and I picked the lets do the cast "least worse"
option (at least to me). I'm open to changing this.

Ack.
