have 'const', so make the type declaration cause a further 'const' cast 
warning. Could i copy these infos just like below:

struct mmc_clkc_data *data_clkc;
......
data = of_device_get_match_data(dev);
data_clkc = devm_kmalloc(dev, sizeof(*data_clkc), GFP_KERNEL);
memcpy(data_clkc, data, sizeof(*data_clkc));
......
clk = mmc_clkc_register_clk_with_parent(...., &data_clkc->rx);
