The devnode() callback in struct block_device_operations should not be modifying the device that is passed into it, so mark it as a const * and propagate the function signature changes out into the one subsystem that actually uses this callback.

Jens, I have some dependent kobject/driver core changes that require this change in the works. Can I take this through the driver core tree for 6.2-rc1?
