Hi all,

Propose patch for platform driver core. Greg, can you add it to your
driver queue?

Thanks.

Content-Disposition: inline; filename=driver-platform-device-name-as-const-char.patch

The name parameter of platform_device_register_simple should be of
type const char * instead of char *, as we simply pass it to
platform_device_alloc, where it has type const char *.
