[PATCH 2/2] device property: allow constify properties

[Dmitry Torokhov]

There is no reason why statically defined properties should be modifiable,
so let's make device_add_properties() and the rest of pset_*() functions to
take const pointers to properties.

This will allow us to mark properties as const/__initconst at definition
sites.
