Hi all,

After merging the char-misc tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64
allmodconfig) failed like this:

drivers/hv/vmbus_drv.c:1893:22: error: initialization of 'const struct bin_attribute * const*' from incompatible pointer type 'struct bin_attribute **' [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
 1893 |         .bin_attrs = vmbus_chan_bin_attrs,
      |                      ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/hv/vmbus_drv.c:1893:22: note: (near initialization for 'vmbus_chan_group.<anonymous>.bin_attrs')

Caused by commit

  f31fe8165d36 ("uio_hv_generic: Fix sysfs creation path for ring buffer")

interacting with commit

  9bec944506fa ("sysfs: constify attribute_group::bin_attrs")

from the driver-core tree.

I have applied the following merge fixup for today.
