This PR const-qualifies several variables in FSL API. See issues #59 and #117

[x] Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)

Hi @escherstair , thank you for contribution. At this point we are no longer planning to extend the FreeRTOS API by new functionality. Drivers are currently in maintenance mode only, where we concentrate only on correction of critical issues.

Hi @DavidJurajdaNXP I'm not sure I understand your point. This is not an extension by a new functionality. It's a fix of an unnecessary warning in case an user passes a const pointer to the functions. It has no drawbacks at all because:

users that pass a non-const pointer don't see any difference (a non-const pointer can be passed to a const parameter)
users that pass a const pointer won't see anymore the warning

If the user needs to certify the cource code, a third party consultant performs some static check on the code, and this kind of unnecessary warnings should be justified. Extra work that can be easily saved.

I ask you to reconsider this PR.
