Subject: [PATCH] tsm-mr: Fix init breakage after bin_attrs constification by scoping non-const pointers to init phase

From: Cedric Xing <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 13 May 2025 10:47:42 -0500

Commit 9bec944506fa ("sysfs: constify attribute_group::bin_attrs") enforced
the ro-after-init principle by making elements of bin_attrs pointing to
const.

To align with this change, introduce a temporary variable `bap` within the
initialization loop. This improves code clarity by explicitly marking the
initialization scope and eliminates the need for type casts after bin_attrs
was constified.
