Drop the const qualifier from the static global cur_profile pointer declaration. This is a preparation patch for passing the cur_profile pointer as parameter to the profile_get() and profile_set() callbacks so that drivers dynamically allocating their driver-data struct, with their platform_profile_handler struct embedded, can use this pointer to get to their driver-data. Note this also requires dropping the const from the pprof platform_profile_register() function argument. Dropping this const is not a problem, non of the queued up consumers of platform_profile_register() actually pass in a const pointer.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
