Applied to pci/hotplug for v4.11 with Kees' Reviewed-by and the following
changelog:

    PCI: acpiphp_ibm: Make ibm_apci_table_attr __ro_after_init
    
    ibm_apci_table_attr is not modified after being initialized by
    ibm_acpiphp_init().  It is passed as an argument to the functions
    sysfs_{remove/create}_bin_file(), but both the arguments are const.
    Add __ro_after_init to its declaration.
