Actually, I also meant the same but maybe I wasn't clear enough :)

I checked again and there remains only one file in power/supply where
thermal_cooling_device_ops can be made const. I will submit a patch

maintainers are different.
All other places are either already const or I have submitted patches
for them or cannot be made const.
