Subject: [PATCH] rtc: m41t80: 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
   4162	    544	      0	   4706	   1262	drivers/rtc/rtc-m41t80.o

File size After adding 'const':
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
   4226	    480	      0	   4706	   1262	drivers/rtc/rtc-m41t80.o
