The original sparse warning was:
../drivers/of/of_reserved_mem.c:200:50: warning: incorrect type in
initializer (different modifiers)
../drivers/of/of_reserved_mem.c:200:50: expected int (
*[usertype] initfn )( ... )
../drivers/of/of_reserved_mem.c:200:50: got void const *const data
right?
And we're talking about a function (pointer) type.
Functions return a rvalue thus qualifiers are irrelevant for them,
so having 'int const (*initfn)(...)' instead of 'int (*initfn)()' should
solve nothing.
Same for the others patch in this series.
