[PATCH] drivers: hwmon: remove redundant cast

From: Rasmus Villemoes
Date: Fri Oct 26 2018 - 18:31:27 EST


struct attribute::name which this local variable name is eventually
assigned to is "const char*", and so is the template parameter. We might
as well preserve the constness all the way through.
