[PATCH] soundwire: bus: Make sdw_nwrite() data pointer argument const

From: Richard Fitzgerald
Date: Wed Feb 03 2021 - 06:07:55 EST


Idiomatically, write functions should take const pointers to the
data buffer, as they don't change the data. They are also likely to
be called from functions that receive a const data pointer.

Internally the pointer is passed to function/structs shared with
the read functions, requiring a cast, but this is an implementation
detail that should be hidden by the public API.
