Rob, sorry for the delay, I just sent out a simple patch. It contains that
'less-than-pretty' const cast. As of updating printk API -- I took a quick
look... and there are quite a lot things to touch: not just printk.c, but
also UART and all console drivers; we pass options not only to ->match()
callback, but to ->setup() callback as well. I'm not sure I've got enough
spare time for it right now, sorry.
