Subject: [PATCH] drivers/base: Constify static attribute_group structs

These are only used by putting their address in an array of pointers to
const struct attribute_group (either directly or via the
__ATTRIBUTE_GROUP macro). Make them const to allow the compiler to place
them in read-only memory.
