[PATCH] memory: emif: Remove const from min_tck allocation type

[PATCH] memory: emif: Remove const from min_tck allocation type

[Kees Cook]

From: Kees Cook <kees+treewide@kernel.org>

In preparation for making the devm_kmalloc family of allocators type
aware, we need to make sure that the returned type from the allocation
matches the type of the variable being assigned. (Before, the allocator
would always return "void *", which can be implicitly cast to any
pointer type.)

The size was taken from "*pd->min_tck", so the converted allocation type
would be "const struct lpddr2_min_tck *", as "pd->min_tck" points to
const. The allocation is a writable copy assigned to a "void *" and then
memcpy()ed into, so name the unqualified type directly, for a converted
allocation type of "struct lpddr2_min_tck *". As there is no general way
to remove const qualifiers, this keeps the allocation type matching how
the memory is used. No change in allocation size results.

Build tested ARCH=x86_64 allmodconfig with GCC 16.2.0:
drivers/memory/emif.o
