The change is necessary to enable the use of the `i2c_get_dma_safe_msg_buf()` API, which requires a non-const `struct i2c_msg *` to operate. The `i2c_get_dma_safe_msg_buf()` function ensures safe handling of I2C messages when using DMA, making it essential for scenarios where DMA transfers are involved. By removing the `const` qualifier, this patch allows drivers to prepare and manage DMA-safe buffers directly.

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.
