Takashi Iwai [off-list ref] writes:
The ucode TLV data may be read-only and should be treated as const
pointers, but currently a few code forcibly cast to the writable
pointer unnecessarily. This gave developers a wrong impression as if
it can be modified, resulting in crashing regressions already a couple
of times.
This patch adds the const prefix to those cast pointers, so that such
attempt can be caught more easily in future.

So this need to go to -next, right? Does this depend on patch 1 or can
this be applied independently?
