You mean it should be:
	hwmon_channel_info *const ufs_hwmon_info
?

I think the pointer * is tied only to variable name, but not to const.
Majority seems to choose similarly:

git grep "\*const" | wc -l
2763
git grep "\* const" | wc -l
16204

But if this is more than a nit, but your preference, I can fix it.

Best regards,
