Current state of the 'const bin_attribute' constification

Current state of the 'const bin_attribute' constification

[Thomas Weißschuh]

Hi Greg,

most of the patches for the 'const bin_attribute' work have gone in
through the maintainer trees. A few series have not been picked up:

Do you want to take these directly?

Then I can send the removal of the transition machinery.
There is also a potential conflict in linux-next with Kexec Handover [0],
but that will be trivial to resolve and hopefully they fix it in their v2.
