I'd prefer to leave the const there for documentation.
Does anyone object to fixing it in the other direction by *adding*
const to all the call sites?

Andy Shevchenko posted a patch last 7 October that did that.
<20191007135656.37734-1-andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com>

(You could also try taking a second look at why __pure doesn't work,
per AKPM's message of 16 April
<20190416154522.65aaa348161fc581181b56d9@linux-foundation.org>)
