[PATCH 1/3] hisilicon: constify net_device_ops structures

[Julia Lawall]

Check for net_device_ops structures that are only stored in the netdev_ops
field of a net_device structure.  This field is declared const, so
net_device_ops structures that have this property can be declared as const
also.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
