Bhumika Goyal (6):
  ACPI: make device_attribute const
  nbd: make device_attribute const
  hid: make device_attribute const
  qlogic:  make device_attribute const
  platform/x86: make device_attribute const
  power: supply: make device_attribute const

It would be better to send these patches separately, because they
touch code maintained by different people and I guess no one will take
the whole series.

I'll take care of the ACPI one, but the rest needs to go in via their
proper trees.

Thanks,
