Subject: [PATCH v2] net: moxa: constify net_device_ops structures

Declare net_device_ops structure as const as it is only stored in
the netdev_ops field of a net_device structure. This field is of type
const, so net_device_ops structures having same properties can be made
const too.
Done using Coccinelle:

static struct net_device_ops i@......};

@ok1@
identifier r1.i;
position p;
struct net_device ndev;

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