[PATCH v4 0/3] nvmem: migrate to const void * in reg_write

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 v3:
- Link to v3:
  https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/[email protected]/T/
- Drop Apple SPMI patch, which had already been independently included
  in linux-next as 7089170e1df160f5f8fb395bc5aa2e2697b4e896.
- Reword the cover letter’s subject.
- Reorder the meson firmware patch before the other ones, so that every
  commit is always working correctly.

Changes since v2:
- Link to v2:
  https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/aljAqBNVXV1aVJqx@luna/T/
- Rebase on top of linux-next/master.
- Fix logic error which made all devices read-only.
- Remove a blanket cast of function pointers to void * in
  apple-spmi-nvmem (patch 3).
- Also fix constness of write buffer in firmware: meson, which is used
  exclusively by meson-efuse (patch 4).
- Re-review all changes to make sure the passed types are more correct
  than they were before.
- Actually test with COMPILE_TEST, which I forgot to enable before…

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.

Link Mauve (3):
  firmware: meson: pass a const buffer to meson_sm_call_write()
  nvmem: core: deprecate reg_write callback and add reg_write_const
  nvmem: make all reg_write callbacks take const void *
