x86/platform/intel-mid: Revert "Make 'bt_sfi_data' const"
[ Upstream commit 9d0513d82f1a8fe17b41f113ac5922fa57dbaf5c ]
So one of the constification patches unearthed a type casting fragility
of the underlying code:
276c87054751 ("x86/platform/intel-mid: Make 'bt_sfi_data' const")
converted the struct to be const while it is also used as a temporary
container for important data that is used to fill 'parent' and 'name'
fields in struct platform_device_info.
The compiler doesn't notice this due to an explicit type cast that loses
the const - which fragility will be fixed separately.
This type cast turned a seemingly trivial const propagation patch into a
hard to debug data corruptor and crasher bug.
