Andy Shevchenko 4a33ecfb67 x86/platform/intel-mid: Revert "Make 'bt_sfi_data' const" 
[ Upstream commit 9d0513d82f ]

So one of the constification patches unearthed a type casting fragility
of the underlying code:

  276c870547 ("x86/platform/intel-mid: Make 'bt_sfi_data' const")

converted the struct to be const while it is also used as a temporary
container for important data that is used to fill 'parent' and 'name'
fields in struct platform_device_info.

The compiler doesn't notice this due to an explicit type cast that loses
the const - which fragility will be fixed separately.

This type cast turned a seemingly trivial const propagation patch into a
hard to debug data corruptor and crasher bug.

README 

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
