Subject: [PATCH] spi: use container_of_cont() for to_spi_device()
Date: Thu, 22 May 2025 12:47:31 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2025052230-fidgeting-stooge-66f5@gregkh> (raw)

Some places in the spi core pass in a const pointer to a device and the
default container_of() casts that away, which is not a good idea.
Preserve the proper const attribute by using container_of_const() for
to_spi_device() instead, which is what it was designed for.

Note, this removes the NULL check for a device pointer in the call, but
no one was ever checking for that return value, and a device pointer
should never be NULL overall anyway, so this should be a safe change.

Fixes: d69d80484598 ("driver core: have match() callback in struct bus_type take a const *")
