[PATCH v2 6/6] ARM: uaccess: remove const to avoid duplicate specifier

[Stefan Agner]

Some users of get_user use the macro with an argument p which
is already specified as static. When using clang this leads to
a duplicate specifier:

              ^

                  __get_user_check(x, p);                                 \
                  ^
  ./arch/arm/include/asm/uaccess.h:155:12: note: expanded from macro
          '__get_user_check'
                  register const typeof(*(p)) __user *__p asm("r0") = (p);\

Remove the const attribute from the register declaration
to avoid the duplicate const specifier. In a test with ptrace.c
and traps.c (both using get_user with non-const arguments for p)
the generated code was exactly the same.
