From: Zijun Hu <quic_zijuhu@xxxxxxxxxxx> Constify the following API: struct device *device_find_child(struct device *dev, void *data, int (*match)(struct device *dev, void *data)); To : struct device *device_find_child(struct device *dev, const void *data, device_match_t match); typedef int (*device_match_t)(struct device *dev, const void *data); with the following reasons: - Protect caller's match data @*data which is for comparison and lookup and the API does not actually need to modify @*data. - Make the API's parameters (@match)() and @data have the same type as all of other device finding APIs (bus|class|driver)_find_device(). - All kinds of existing device match functions can be directly taken as the API's argument, they were exported by driver core. Now, no (*match)() argument of the API usages is modifying @*data in current kernel tree, so it is safe to constify the API.
