[PATCH] thunderbolt: constify attribute_group structure

[PATCH] thunderbolt: constify attribute_group structure

[Amitoj Kaur Chawla]

Functions working with attribute_groups provided by <linux/device.h>
work with const attribute_group. These attribute_group structures do not
change at runtime so mark them as const.

File size before:
 text      data     bss     dec     hex filename
 28565     7300       0   35865    8c19 drivers/thunderbolt/switch.o

File size after:
 text      data     bss     dec     hex filename
 28661     7204       0   35865    8c19 drivers/thunderbolt/switch.o

This change was made with the help of Coccinelle.

Unfortunately you forgot to Cc Greg. He has been gathering Thunderbolt
related patches. I added him now but it may be that you need to resend
the patch to make it easier for him to apply.
