Suzuki K Poulose 92ce7e83b4 driver_find_device: Unify the match function with class_find_device()
The driver_find_device() accepts a match function pointer to
filter the devices for lookup, similar to bus/class_find_device().
However, there is a minor difference in the prototype for the
match parameter for driver_find_device() with the now unified
version accepted by {bus/class}_find_device(), where it doesn't
accept a "const" qualifier for the data argument. This prevents
us from reusing the generic match functions for driver_find_device().

For this reason, change the prototype of the driver_find_device() to
make the "match" parameter in line with {bus/class}_find_device()
and adjust its callers to use the const qualifier. Also, we could
now promote the "data" parameter to const as we pass it down
as a const parameter to the match functions.

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.
