The static structure ec168_props, of type dvb_usb_device_properties, is used only once, when it is assigned to field props of the constant structure ec168_driver_info. As this means that ec168_props will never be modified, make it const as well in order to prevent unintended modification of its fields. Issue found with Coccinelle.
