Subject: [PATCH] input: elantech: constify attribute_group structures.

attribute_groups are not supposed to change at runtime. All functions
working with attribute_groups provided by <linux/sysfs.h> work with const
attribute_group. So mark the non-const structs as const.

File size before:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  16815	   1424	      0	  18239	   473f	drivers/input/mouse/elantech.o

File size After adding 'const':
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  16879	   1360	      0	  18239	   473f	drivers/input/mouse/elantech.o
