PATCH 1/1 thermal: Constify struct thermal_zone_device_ops

'struct thermal_zone_device_ops' are not modified in these drivers.

Constifying these structures moves some data to a read-only section, so increases overall security, especially when the structure holds some function pointers.

On a x86_64, with allmodconfig, as an example:
Before:
======

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  28116	   5168	    128	  33412	   8284	drivers/thermal/armada_thermal.o

After:
=====

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  28244	   5040	    128	  33412	   8284	drivers/thermal/armada_thermal.o

'struct thermal_zone_device_ops' are not modified in these drivers.

Constifying these structures moves some data to a read-only section, so increases overall security, especially when the structure holds some function pointers.

On a x86_64, with allmodconfig, as an example:
Before:
======

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  28116	   5168	    128	  33412	   8284	drivers/thermal/armada_thermal.o

After:
=====
