Subject: [PATCH] power: supply: 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
   2673	    400	      0	   3073	    c01	power/supply/pcf50633-charger.o

File size After adding 'const':
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
   2737	    336	      0	   3073	    bed	power/supply/pcf50633-charger.o
