llvm dev - Dec 2015 - Unable to clone an instruction in AsmPrinter::EmitInstruction

I'm working on a custom VLIW (we call it Escala). At the moment I'm
trying
to implement EscalaAsmPrinter::EmitInstruction(const MachineInstr *MI). I'm
trying to clone an instruction and this produces and error. Below are the
code as well as error:

void EscalaAsmPrinter::EmitInstruction(const MachineInstr *MI) {
  const MachineFunction *MF = MI->getParent()->getParent();
  MachineInstr *CloneMI = MF->CloneMachineInstr(MI);
  ...
  ...
}

Here is the error:

lib/Target/Escala/EscalaAsmPrinter.cpp: In member function ‘virtual void
{anonymous}::EscalaAsmPrinter::EmitInstruction(const llvm::MachineInstr*)’:
lib/Target/Escala/EscalaAsmPrinter.cpp:379:51: error: no matching function
for call to ‘llvm::MachineFunction::CloneMachineInstr(const
llvm::MachineInstr*&) const’
   MachineInstr *CloneMI = MF->CloneMachineInstr(MI);

^
lib/Target/Escala/EscalaAsmPrinter.cpp:379:51: note: candidate is:
In file included from include/llvm/Target/TargetInstrInfo.h:19:0,
                 from lib/Target/Escala/EscalaInstrInfo.h:19,
                 from lib/Target/Escala/EscalaAsmPrinter.cpp:17:
include/llvm/CodeGen/MachineFunction.h:383:17: note: llvm::MachineInstr*
llvm::MachineFunction::CloneMachineInstr(const llvm::MachineInstr*) <near
match>
   MachineInstr *CloneMachineInstr(const MachineInstr *Orig);
                        ^

This just doesn't make sense to me. I'm missing something, but I
can't
figure out what exactly. Would someone be able to shed some light on this?

Any help is really appreciated.

It looks like it's complaining because you are trying to call a non-const
function CloneMachineInstr but MF is a pointer to a const MachineFunction?
