[PATCH v3 07/18] serial: core: Make uart_parse_options take const char* argument

From: Paul Cercueil <paul@crapouillou.net>
Date: 2017-07-02 16:33:06
Also in: linux-clk, linux-mips, lkml
Subsystem: the rest, tty layer and serial drivers · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Greg Kroah-Hartman, Jiri Slaby

The pointed string is never modified from within uart_parse_options, so
it should be marked as const in the function prototype.
