Subject: [PATCH 0/5] driver core: Prevent device_find_child() from
 modifying caller's match data

For driver API:
struct device *device_find_child(struct device *dev, void *data,
		int (*match)(struct device *dev, void *data));

It does not make sense for its match function (*match)() to modify
caller's match data @*data, but there are 3 device_find_child() usages
whose match functions do such awful things within current kernel tree.

This patch series is to clean up them first to prepare to constify the API.
