Hi Greg,

After merging the driver-core.current tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
ppc64_defconfig and x86_64 allmodconfig) produced these warning:

drivers/pcmcia/ds.c: In function 'pcmcia_load_firmware':
drivers/pcmcia/ds.c:761: warning: passing argument 1 of 'release_firmware' discards qualifiers from pointer target type
include/linux/firmware.h:46: note: expected 'struct firmware *' but argument is of type 'const struct firmware *'
drivers/net/cxgb3/cxgb3_main.c: In function 't3_get_edc_fw':
drivers/net/cxgb3/cxgb3_main.c:1084: warning: passing argument 1 of 'release_firmware' discards qualifiers from pointer target type
include/linux/firmware.h:46: note: expected 'struct firmware *' but argument is of type 'const struct firmware *'

and *lots* more similar warnings ...

Caused by commit d5ae47f7d90f94a15e668f389c12211a11798b6f
("firmware_class: fix memory leak - free allocated pages"). This patch
was modified from an earlier version that produced different (though many
fewer) warnings.
