Subject: [PATCH v2] staging: unisys: visorbus: Constify attribute_group structures.

attribute_group are not supposed to change at runtime. All functions
working with attribute_group provided by <linux/sysfs.h> work
with const attribute_group. So mark the non-const structs as const.

Changes in v2:
Change log typo was not correct.

Does not apply to my tree at all anymore, probably due to other visorbus
patches I just took :(

Please rebase and resend.

thanks,
