Applied to pci/hotplug for v4.11 with Kees' Reviewed-by and the following
changelog:

PCI: acpiphp_ibm: Make ibm_apci_table_attr __ro_after_init

ibm_apci_table_attr is not modified after being initialized by
ibm_acpiphp_init(). It is passed as an argument to the functions
sysfs_{remove/create}_bin_file(), but both the arguments are const.
Add __ro_after_init to its declaration.
