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

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:

// <smpl>

static struct uart_ops i@p = { ... };
