All usages of include/linux of these are const pointers, and all instances
in the kernel except one, that are not const can be made const (patches
have been posted for those separately).

All usages of phy_ops in include/linux uses const phy_ops * and all
instances of phy_ops in the kernel that are not const already can be made
const (patches have been posted for those separately).

Using const is generally a good idea.

Julia Lawall has created a list of always const and almost always const
structs in the kernel sources.

Link: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/8/28/95

Add the most frequently used (> 50 cases) that are almost always or
always const.
