[PATCH] coresight: cti: Add const to con_groups allocation type

[PATCH] coresight: cti: Add const to con_groups allocation type

[Kees Cook]

From: Kees Cook <kees+treewide@kernel.org>

In preparation for making the devm_kmalloc family of allocators type
aware, we need to make sure that the returned type from the allocation
matches the type of the variable being assigned. (Before, the allocator
would always return "void *", which can be implicitly cast to any
pointer type.)

The assigned type is "const struct attribute_group **", but the
converted allocation type would be "struct attribute_group **", which is
the same type without the const qualifier. As there is no general way to
safely add const qualifiers, take the size from the assignment target
instead. No change in allocation size results.

Build tested ARCH=arm64 allmodconfig with GCC aarch64-linux-gnu 16.1.0:
