Subject: [PATCH] arcnet: com20020-pci: constify attribute_group structures.

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

File size before:
text data bss dec hex filename
3409 948 28 4385 1121 drivers/net/arcnet/com20020-pci.o

File size After adding 'const':
text data bss dec hex filename
3473 884 28 4385 1121 drivers/net/arcnet/com20020-pci.o
