x86/platform/intel-mid: Revert "Make 'bt_sfi_data' const"
So one of the constification patches unearthed a type casting fragility of the underlying code: 276c87054751 ("x86/platform/intel-mid: Make 'bt_sfi_data' const") converted the struct to be const while it is also used as a temporary container for important data that is used to fill 'parent' and 'name' fields in struct platform_device_info. The compiler doesn't notice this due to an explicit type cast that loses the const - which fragility will be fixed separately. This type cast turned a seemingly trivial const propagation patch into a hard to debug data corruptor and crasher bug.
