Subject: [PATCH v2] iio: light: lm3533-als: constify attribute_group
 structures

Check for attribute_group structures that are only stored in the
event_attrs filed of iio_info structure. As the event_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.event_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={...};

@depends on !bad disable optional_qualifier@
identifier r1.i;
@@
+const
struct attribute_group i;

As the attrs field of iio_info structures is also constant, so these
attribute_group structures can also be declared constant. Done manually.

File size before:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   5798    2376       0    8174    1fee drivers/iio/light/lm3533-als.o

File size after:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
   5926	   2248	      0	   8174	   1fee	drivers/iio/light/lm3533-als.o

 v2:
   -make one more attribute_group const.
   -change the values of file size after.
   -change commit message.
