[ Upstream commit 1007ae0d464ceb55a3740634790521d3543aaab9 ]
Some places in the spi core pass in a const pointer to a device and the default container_of() casts that away, which is not a good idea. Preserve the proper const attribute by using container_of_const() for to_spi_device() instead, which is what it was designed for.
Note, this removes the NULL check for a device pointer in the call, but no one was ever checking for that return value, and a device pointer should never be NULL overall anyway, so this should be a safe change.
