[PATCH] device property: make device_property functions take const device *

[Guenter Roeck]

device_property functions do not modify the device pointer passed to them.
The underlying of_device and fwnode_ functions actually already take
const * arguments. Mark the parameter constant to simplify conversion
from of_property to device_property functions, and to let the calling code
use const device pointers where possible.

Found by Chris when trying to convert a driver from of_property_ to
device_property_ functions. I don't really see a reason why the device
parameter to device_property functions should not be const.
Please let me know if I am missing sonething.
