attribute_groups are not supposed to change at runtime. All functions
working with attribute_groups provided by <linux/sysfs.h> work with const
attribute_group. So mark the non-const structs as const.
File size before:
text data bss dec hex filename
2573 288 296 3157 c55 coresight-etm-perf.o
File size After adding 'const':
text data bss dec hex filename
2613 224 296 3133 c3d coresight-etm-perf.o

Hi Arvind,
Did you find this using an automated tool or simply stumbled on it
while reviewing the code? In case of the former it is usually a good
idea to specify which tool was used in the change log.
Thanks,
Mathieu

Automated tools are not able to caught this kind of error.
I have fixed same changes in zram ( commit - dfc8ed8d6a).
Minchan Kim suggested me to change all the places where have not
used const. It's good idea have a tool which can able to detect these
kind of error. I will try to create a tool.
