[PATCH] mfd: core: constify the struct device_type usage

From: Ricardo B. Marliere
Date: Mon Feb 19 2024 - 14:53:50 EST


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