Let's adapt PATCH 03's commit message, like this:

    9pfs: make Error **errp const where it is appropriate

    Mostly, Error ** is for returning error from the function, so the
    callee sets it. However error_append_security_model_hint and
    error_append_socket_sockfd_hint get already filled errp
    parameter. They don't change the pointer itself, only change the
    internal state of referenced Error object. So we can make it Error
    *const * errp, to stress the behavior. It will also help coccinelle
    script (in future) to distinguish such cases from common errp usage.

With something like that:
