ASoC: Remove 'const' from the device_node pointers
As Russell King's explained it, there should not be pointers to
struct device_node:
"struct device_node is a ref-counted structure. That means if you
store a reference to it, you should "get" it, and you should "put"
it once you've done. The act of "put"ing the pointed-to structure
involves writing to that structure, so it is totally unappropriate
to store a device_node structure as a const pointer. It forces you
to have to cast it back to a non-const pointer at various points
in time to use various OF function calls."
[This isn't quite the application here, we're not geting or putting the
pointer though we did add some other users who call non-const OF
functions -- broonie]
