Subject: void __iomem *addr should be const

Hi,

__iomem *addr seems to lack a const qualifier in the ioread* definitions
from include/asm-generic/iomap.h (other definitions such as
asm-generic/io.h do have the const).

This issue was briefly discussed a while ago[0] but the outcome is not
quite clear to me. Should I submit a patch addressing this issue or is it
a definitive wontfix?

This issue triggers warnings in my current work but I would like to avoid
dropping the const if possible.

regards,
 Hugo
