driver core: device: mark struct class in struct device as constant
The pointer to a struct class in a struct device should never be used to change anything in that class. So mark it as constant to enforce this requirement. This requires a few minor changes to some internal driver core functions to enforce the const * being used here now. Cc: "Rafael J.
