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/20260716142415.28718-1-linkmauve@linkmauve.fr/T/ (local) - 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/ (local) - 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/20260715175229.24672-1-linkmauve@linkmauve.fr/ (local) - 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.
