Subject: [PATCH] power: supply: sysfs: constify the struct device_type
 usage

Since commit aed65af1cc2f ("drivers: make device_type const"), the driver
core can properly handle constant struct device_type. Move the
power_supply_dev_type variable to be a constant structure as well, placing
it into read-only memory which can not be modified at runtime.
