Yes, code now has warnings, I have something like,
        const struct firmware *fw_entry; declared in my header file,
and use it as,
            request_firmware(&kim_gdata->fw_entry, bts_scr_name,
                             &kim_gdata->kim_pdev->dev);
and then I get warnings at,
        release_firmware(kim_gdata->fw_entry);

You want me to have a pointer to &kw_gdata->fw_entry which is const ?
as in 
const struct firmware **fw_const_ptr;
