The sysfs core now allows instances of 'struct bin_attribute' to be
moved into read-only memory. Make use of that to protect them against
accidental or malicious modifications.

Best regards,

Hello Thomas,
There is a recent change which leads to a conflict with your change
on latest linux-next tip as it brings half of the functionality
from your patch.

"drivers: hv: fix up const issue with vmbus_chan_bin_attrs"

Can you please rebase this.

The other part LGTM, considering you recently got this change
merged: "sysfs: constify attribute_group::bin_attrs"

Regards,
Naman
