Subject: [PATCH 11/16] [powerpc,netdevices] Constify & voidify get_property()

From: Jeremy Kerr <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2006 15:41:03 +1000 (EST)

Now that get_property() returns a void *, there's no need to cast its
return value. Also, treat the return value as const, so we can
constify get_property later.

powerpc-specific network device driver changes.
