[PATCH] acpi: respect const qualifier

From: Semen Protsenko
Date: Thu Apr 17 2014 - 11:54:12 EST


This patch fixes next warning:

<------------------------------- cut here --------------------------------->
drivers/acpi/property.c: In function âacpi_free_propertiesâ:
drivers/acpi/property.c:35:2: warning: passing argument 1 of âacpi_os_freeâ
discards âconstâ qualifier from pointer
target type [enabled by default]

ACPI_FREE(adev->properties);
<------------------------------- cut here --------------------------------->

The problem is next:

- acpi_free_properties() calls ACPI_FREE(), passing "const *"
parameter to it
- ACPI_FREE() is macro for acpi_os_free()
- acpi_os_free() takes "void *" parameter
- acpi_os_free() calls kfree()
- but kfree() requires "const void *" parameter

So acpi_os_free() should require "const void *" parameter as well.
