Subject: [PATCH] iio: light: apds9960: constify attribute_group structures

Check for attribute_group structures that are only stored in the
attrs filed of iio_info structure. As the attrs field of iio_info
structures is constant, so these attribute_group structures can also be
declared constant.
Done using coccinelle:

@r1 disable optional_qualifier @
identifier i;
position p;
@@
static struct attribute_group i@p = {...};

@ok1@
identifier r1.i;
position p;
struct iio_info x;
@@
x.attrs=&i@p;

@bad@
position p!={r1.p,ok1.p};
identifier r1.i;
@@
i@p

@depends on !bad disable optional_qualifier@
identifier r1.i;

static
+const
struct attribute_group i={...};
