[PATCH v5] staging: greybus: Constify gb_audio_module_type

[Ayush Tiwari]

Constify static struct kobj_type gb_audio_module_type to prevent
modification of data shared across many instances(instances here
refer to multiple kobject instances being created, since this same
gb_audio_module_type structure is used as a template for all audio
manager module kobjs, it is effectively 'shared' across all these
instances), ensuring that the structure's usage is consistent and
predictable throughout the driver and allowing the compiler to place
it in read-only memory. The gb_audio_module_type structure is used
when initializing and adding kobj instances to the kernel's object
hierarchy. After adding const, any attempt to alter
gb_audio_module_type in the code would raise a compile-time error.
This enforcement ensures that the sysfs interface and operations for
audio modules remain stable.
