Now that the driver core can properly handle constant struct bus_type,
move the gpio_bus_type variable to be a constant structure as well,
placing it into read-only memory which can not be modified at runtime.

From a quick grep it seems to be the case, but maybe you should wait for
Greg for confirmation. Also found this:

Ha! Does the same work now for struct device_type?
Because I just sent this:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-gpio/[email protected]/
And maybe I should make it const right away.

Turns out it has been like that for years:
commit aed65af1cc2f6fc9ded5a8158f1405a02cf6d2ff
Author: Stephen Hemminger <[email protected]>
Date: Mon Mar 28 09:12:52 2011 -0700
drivers: make device_type const
The device_type structure does not contain data that changes
during usage and should be const. This allows devices to declare
the struct const.
I have patches to change all the subsystems, but need the infra
structure change first.

I queued your patch too.

Very much so, please feel free to do so, that's next on my list of
things to do for the tree.
