This is missing the switch away and removal of the transitional
struct members, "read_new", "write_new" and "bin_attrs_new".
These are the actually churny changes.

I have a branch with those, based on current linux-next/master, at
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/thomas.weissschuh/linux.git b4/sysfs-const-bin_attr-final

(Has not yet passed 0day, but earlier versions this week did)

Do you want me to resubmit it to you? Now or shortly before the end of
the merge window?
