Subject: [PATCH] SCSI: st: Take additional queue ref in st_probe

There's nothing wrong with const iomem pointers. If you think
otherwise, patch x86 not to use const in its accessor impleme
ARM is moving to stricter checks on readl/write functions,
so we need to use the correct types everywhere.

I did s/license/copyright/ in this, since that's what you actually mean.
People can get very upset when they think the driver licence is
changing ...

The main motivation for this patch is that for the first strncmp()
we do 'strncmp(src, "-", 20)' but "src" is a 15 character buffer not 20.
Also since we know that "-" is only two characters, the compare isn't
going to go further than 2 characters into src before deciding that it
doesn't match.
