This callback used to take a mutable void * for no reason, which causes the compiler to be unaware that the val buffer should never be modified by the callback. This was found while drafting the nvmem-provider Rust abstraction. Thanks to the guidance of Andy Shevchenko, this now introduces a new callback and deprecates the existing one, with the goal of renaming the new one into the old one once no user remains in the kernel. Changes since v1: - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/[email protected]/ - Removed all changes to other subsystems than nvmem. - Added a new reg_write_const callback instead of changing the exisitng reg_write. - Deprecated the existing reg_write callback, it will get removed once all users in the kernel will be done migrating to the new one.
