[PATCH v2] dio: make dio_bus_type const

[PATCH v2] dio: make dio_bus_type const

[Ricardo B. Marliere]

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

I didn't find anyone to take in this patch. Can you please check and if
that's the case take it through one of your trees?

Thanks for reviewing,
