mfd: twl-core: make reg_write callback take const void *

This commit updates the reg_write callback to use a const void pointer for
its data argument. It fixes all users of the nvmem_config API to accommodate
this change.

[Severity: Low]
This isn't a bug, but should the description after the subsystem prefix be
capitalized (i.e., "Make reg_write...") to match the MFD subsystem guidelines?

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but I noticed a potential resource leak in
twl_probe(). If devm_mfd_add_devices() fails, the code jumps directly to
the 'free' label, skipping the 'fail' label:

drivers/mfd/twl-core.c:twl_probe() {
    ...
		status = devm_mfd_add_devices(&client->dev, PLATFORM_DEVID_NONE,
					      cells, num_cells, NULL, 0, NULL);
		if (status < 0)
			goto free;
    ...
fail:
	if (status < 0)
		twl_remove(client);
free:
	if (status < 0)
		platform_device_unregister(pdev);
    ...
}

Does this bypass leak manually requested IRQ domains and unmanaged dummy I2C
devices by skipping twl_remove()?
