[PATCH] SPI cleanup() method param becomes non-const

Browse source 
I'd like to assign NULL to kfree()d members of a structure.  I can't do
that without ugly casting (see the PXA patch) when the structure pointed to
is const-qualified.  I don't really see a reason why the cleanup method
isn't allowed to alter the object it should clean up.  :-)

No, I didn't test the PXA patch, but I verified that the NULL-assignment
doesn't stop me from doing rmmod/insmodding my own spi_bitbang-based
driver.
