The patch titled
Make platform_device_add_data accept a const pointer
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
make-platform_device_add_data-accept-a-const-pointer.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Make platform_device_add_data accept a const pointer
From: Scott Wood <scottwood@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
platform_device_add_data() makes a copy of the data that is given to it,
and thus the parameter can be const. This removes a warning when data
from get_property() on powerpc is handed to platform_device_add_data(),
as get_property() returns a const pointer.
