Subject: [PATCH v2 00/16] driver core: make more things const!

Here's an updated version of this original series:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/
that has the goal of making more functions in the driver core take const
pointers as they do not actually modify anything. This work is an
outgrowth of some conversations I had with the Linux Rust developers
talking about the mutability of many of the driver model pointers.

A small subset of the original submission is now in 6.2-rc1 and this
series is an outgrown of the original submission in that many things are
now changed and a bit more explicit than before.

I can take all of these through the driver-core git tree as they depend
on each other. 0-day has been passing on this series for quite a while,
so all should be good unless some subsystem trees have added new busses
without me noticing.

Bonus for all of this work, the overall code size of the kernel actually
decreased a tiny bit:
126 files changed, 283 insertions(+), 309 deletions(-)
while adding a lot more type-safeness to the system.

Changes from v1:
- rebased on 6.2-rc1 and dropped accepted patches already in there.
- container_of_const() is now in 6.2-rc1 so use that in many
individual subsystems to make the follow-on changes in the driver
core more obvious.
- collected some Reviewed-by
- of_device_uevent_modalias was being "abused" by many different
subsystems in using it instead of a local bus function which played
havoc when enabling stricter type-checking. Move that out into a
new function for the busses that were doing this to make it more
obvious what they need here.

Subject: [PATCH v2 02/16] i3c: move dev_to_i3cdev() to use container_of_const()

The driver core is changing to pass some pointers as const, so move
dev_to_i3cdev() to use container_of_const() to handle this change.
dev_to_i3cdev() now properly keeps the const-ness of the pointer passed
into it, while as before it could be lost.

Other then a small remark on "[PATCH v2 03/16] platform/surface: aggregator:
move to_ssam_device() to use container_of_const()" the platform/surface
and platform/x86/wmi.c changes look good to me:
