Any attempt to provide a const mac address to wilc_set_mac_address results
in the following warning:
warning: passing argument 2 of 'wilc_set_mac_address' discards 'const'
qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers]
[...]
drivers/net/wireless/microchip/wilc1000/hif.h:170:52: note: expected 'u8 *'
{aka 'unsigned char *'} but argument is of type 'const unsigned char *'a
int wilc_set_mac_address(struct wilc_vif *vif, u8 *mac_addr);
Instead of using an explicit cast each time we need provide a MAC address,
set the function parameter as const

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 reStructuredText 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.
