usb: typec: tipd: declare in_data in as const in exec_cmd functions

Browse source

The input data passed to execute commands with tps6598x_exec_cmd()
is not supposed to be modified by the function. Moreover, this data is
passed to tps6598x_exec_cmd_tmo() and finally to tps6598x_block_write(),
which expects a const pointer.

The current implementation does not produce any bugs, but it discards
const qualifiers from the pointers passed as arguments. This leads to
compile issues if 'discarded-qualifiers' is active and a const pointer
is passed to the function, which is the case if data from a firmware
structure is passed to execute update commands. Adding the const
modifier to in_data prevents such issues and provides code consistency.
