Subject: [PATCH 5/9] char: misc: make misc_class a static const structure
Date:   Tue, 20 Jun 2023 16:37:56 +0200

Now that the driver core allows for struct class to be in read-only
memory, move the misc_class structure to be declared at build time
placing it into read-only memory, instead of having to be dynamically
allocated at load time.
