The reason I wrongly changed it from void const * to void * const was to
circumvent gcc complaining with:

drivers/video/ipu_disp.c: In function ‘ipu_dp_csc_setup’:
drivers/video/ipu_disp.c:393:8: warning: assignment discards ‘const’
qualifier from pointer target type [enabled by default]

This can be solved with:

@@ -390,7 +390,7 @@ void ipu_dp_csc_setup(int dp, struct dp_csc_param_t
dp_csc_param,
                __raw_writel(reg, DP_COM_CONF());
        }
-       coeff = dp_csc_param.coeff;
+       coeff = (const int (*)[5][3]) dp_csc_param.coeff;
 
        if (coeff) {
                __raw_writel(mask_a((*coeff)[0][0]) |


But I am not too happy with that. Happen to know a better way?
