This series is aimed to address compilation warnings when a constant pointer

The change(s) is the same for all architectures, but it's split into a series on
per-arch basis to simplify applying and testing on the maintainers side.

The following series implements...
This is nice.

with this with the idea to propose it to Arnd once v6.4-rc1 is out:
