Subject: [PATCH] misc: mic: constify virtio_config_ops structures

Declare virtio_config_ops structure as const as it is only stored in the
config field of a virtio_device structure. This field is of type const, so
virtio_config_ops structures having this property can be declared const.
Done using Coccinelle:

static struct virtio_config_ops i@......};

@ok1@

@bad@
