Krzysztof Kozlowski 8f28ca6bd8 iomap: constify ioreadX() iomem argument (as in generic implementation)
Patch series "iomap: Constify ioreadX() iomem argument", v3.

The ioread8/16/32() and others have inconsistent interface among the
architectures: some taking address as const, some not.

It seems there is nothing really stopping all of them to take pointer to
const.

This patch (of 4):

The ioreadX() and ioreadX_rep() helpers have inconsistent interface.  On
some architectures void *__iomem address argument is a pointer to const,
on some not.

Implementations of ioreadX() do not modify the memory under the address so
they can be converted to a "const" version for const-safety and
consistency among architectures.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
