Subject: [RESEND PATCH 0/3] drivers/mfd: Constify static attribute_group structs

Seems the first submission somehow didn't make it to LKML, here's a
resend.

The only usage of the structs is to pass their address to
sysfs_create_group() and sysfs_remove_group(), both which takes pointers
to const attribute_group structs. Make them const to allow the compiler
to put them in read-only memory.

Done with the help of coccinelle.

With these patches applied, all static attribute_group structs in
drivers/mfd are const.

  mfd: gateworks-gsc: Constify static struct attribute_group
  mfd: lm3533: Constify static struct attribute_group
  mfd: pcf50633: Constify static struct attribute_group
