Subject: [PATCH] misc: make config_item_type const

This is a followup patch for: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/10/11/375

Make this const as it is only stored in the const "ci_type" field of a
config_item structure.

It does not seem to be possible to compile this driver and it has not
received many patches in the last few years, so I wonder if it is still
useful to keep it in the kernel.
