This patch series is to constify the following API:
struct device *device_find_child(struct device *dev, void *data,
		int (*match)(struct device *dev, void *data));
To :
struct device *device_find_child(struct device *dev, const void *data,
				 device_match_t match);
typedef int (*device_match_t)(struct device *dev, const void *data);

This series isn't bisectible. With only the first two patches applied I
hit:

yes. such patch series needs to be merge as atomic way.

Hi Greg,

is it possible to ONLY merge such patch series by atomic way into your
driver-core tree?

Nope!

or squash such patch series into a single patch ?

various subsystem maintainers may not like squashing way.

Agreed, so look into either doing it in a bisectable way if at all
possible.  As I don't see a full series here, I can't suggest how it
needs to happen :(

let me send you a full series later and discuss how to solve this issue.

thanks,
