Although gpiod_get_direction() can be considered side-effect free for
consumers, its internals involve setting or clearing bits in the
affected GPIO descriptor, for which we need to force-cast the const
descriptor parameter. This could lead to incorrect behavior is the
compiler decide to optimize here, so remove this const parameter. The
intent is to make gpiod_get_direction() private anyway, so it does not
really matter.

Hello Alexandre,

just some minor nitpicking on the commit log:

Thanks ; I should have proof-read myself...

Sending a v2 with a fixed log and your Ack so Linus can just pick the 
patch as-is.
