Subject: [PATCH] net: dsa: hellcreek: Constify struct devlink_region_ops and struct hellcreek_fdb_entry

'struct devlink_region_ops' and 'struct hellcreek_fdb_entry' are not
modified in this driver.

Constifying these structures moves some data to a read-only section, so
increases overall security, especially when the structure holds some
function pointers.

On a x86_64, with allmodconfig:
Before:
======
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  55320	  19216	    320	  74856	  12468	drivers/net/dsa/hirschmann/hellcreek.o

After:
=====
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  55960	  18576	    320	  74856	  12468	drivers/net/dsa/hirschmann/hellcreek.o
