The patch below was submitted to be applied to the 4.14-stable tree.
I fail to see how this patch meets the stable kernel rules as found at
Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst.
I could be totally wrong, and if so, please respond to
<stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> and let me know why this patch should be
applied. Otherwise, it is now dropped from my patch queues, never to be
seen again.
thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] tpm: constify transmit data pointers
Making cmd_getticks 'const' introduced a couple of harmless warnings:
drivers/char/tpm/tpm_tis_core.c: In function 'probe_itpm':
drivers/char/tpm/tpm_tis_core.c:469:31: error: passing argument 2 of 'tpm_tis_send_data' discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Werror=discarded-qualifiers]
rc = tpm_tis_send_data(chip, cmd_getticks, len);
drivers/char/tpm/tpm_tis_core.c:477:31: error: passing argument 2 of 'tpm_tis_send_data' discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Werror=discarded-qualifiers]
rc = tpm_tis_send_data(chip, cmd_getticks, len);
drivers/char/tpm/tpm_tis_core.c:255:12: note: expected 'u8 * {aka unsigned char *}' but argument is of type 'const u8 * {aka const unsigned char *}'
static int tpm_tis_send_data(struct tpm_chip *chip, u8 *buf, size_t len)
This changes the related functions to all take 'const' pointers
so that gcc can see this as being correct. I had to slightly
modify the logic around tpm_tis_spi_transfer() for this to work
without introducing ugly casts.
