[PATCH] driver core: change to_subsys_private() to use container_of_const()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Jan 11 2023 - 04:36:26 EST


The macro to_subsys_private() needs to switch to using
container_of_const() as it turned out to being incorrectly casting a
const pointer to a non-const one. Make this change and fix up the one
offending user to be correctly handling a const pointer properly.
