[PATCH] iio: core: make iio_bus_type const

From: Ricardo B. Marliere
Date: Thu Feb 08 2024 - 14:36:59 EST


Now that the driver core can properly handle constant struct bus_type,
move the iio_bus_type variable to be a constant structure as well,
placing it into read-only memory which can not be modified at runtime.
