[PATCH 05/12] net: ppp: constify the struct device_type usage

From: Ricardo B. Marliere <hidden>
Date: 2024-02-17 20:13:11
Also in: bridge, linux-usb, lkml
Subsystem: networking drivers, ppp protocol drivers and compressors, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

Since commit aed65af1cc2f ("drivers: make device_type const"), the driver
core can properly handle constant struct device_type. Move the ppp_type
variable to be a constant structure as well, placing it into read-only
memory which can not be modified at runtime.
