All the functions operating on the 'handle' pointer are claiming it is a
pointer to const thus they should not modify the handle. In fact that's
a false statement, because first thing these functions do is drop the
cast to const with container_of:
struct acpm_info *acpm = handle_to_acpm_info(handle);
And with such cast the handle is easily writable with simple:
acpm->handle.ops.pmic_ops.read_reg = NULL;
The code is not correct logically, either, because functions like
acpm_get_by_node() and acpm_handle_put() are meant to modify the handle
reference counting, thus they must modify the handle. Modification here
happens anyway, even if the reference counting is stored in the
container which the handle is part of.
The code does not have actual visible bug, but incorrect 'const'
annotations could lead to incorrect compiler decisions.

Alive Clock and Power Manager (ACPM) Message Protocol is defined for
the purpose of communication between the ACPM firmware and masters
(AP, AOC, ...). ACPM firmware operates on the Active Power Management
(APM) module that handles overall power activities.
ACPM and masters regard each other as independent hardware component and
communicate with each other using mailbox messages and shared memory.
This protocol driver provides the interface for all the client drivers
making use of the features offered by the APM. Add ACPM protocol support.
