This prepares *of_device_id.data becoming const. Without this change
the following warning would occur:

	drivers/macintosh/mediabay.c: In function 'media_bay_attach':
	drivers/macintosh/mediabay.c:589:11: warning: assignment discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [enabled by default]

Ack all of these assuming you test built (I didn't). Do you need me to
carry any of this via the powerpc tree ?

Cheers,
Ben.

"all" means the two mediabay patches? And yes, they are all built
tested.

The patch that adds the const to of_device_id depends[1] on this patch.
And the other mediabay is only valid after that const is added. So the
easiest is if the series is pulled in one go. Arnd intended to let Linus
pull it for 3.6-rc1 but it was missed because of a communication
problem. So I intend to get it in during the 3.7 merge window.

Best regards
Uwe

[1] it's only a soft depend, because the result is "only" a warning, but
still.

Yeah, anything powerpc you had in your series, but the two mediabay ones
are what I spotted when digging through stuff today :-)

Ok, I'm happy for Arnd to carry all of these, I trust his
judgement/review for that stuff including for ppc specific bits.

Cheers,
Ben.

I added that to

 serial/mpc52xx_uart: add a const qualifier
 gpio/mpc8xxx: add a const qualifier
 i2c/mpc: add a const qualifier
 macintosh/mediabay: add a const qualifier
 powerpc/83xx: add a const qualifier
 powerpc/fsl_msi: add a const qualifier
 powerpc/celleb_pci: add a const qualifier
 watchdog/mpc8xxx: add a const qualifier
 powerpc/fsl_msi: drop unneeded cast to non-const pointer
 i2c/mpc: make data used as *of_device_id.data const
 macintosh/mediabay: make data used as *of_device_id.data const
 can: mpc5xxx_can: make data used as *of_device_id.data const

in the hope I didn't interpret "anything powerpc" too wide. Please tell
me if I did.

Thanks
Uwe

No, it's fine with me, give me a git URL if you want me to run that
through my various config test builds.

Cheers,
Ben.
