According to http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2125#c6 callers are not allowed to modify pointer or array values returned from TIFFGetField or the like. So, why not make this explicit in the documentation by specifying these things as const? Note that this is not an ABI change, since C does not encode const in libraries. Also, this is not really an API change, since the varargs call strips away all the types anyway. So it really is more of a documentation change, making explicit what was already implicitly true anyway. The first patch changes the documentation and the va_arg calls, the second patch converts whitepoint and ycbcrcoeffs to be const.
