'struct i2c_algorithm' are not modified in these drivers.
Constifying this structure moves some data to a read-only section, so
increase overall security, especially when the structure holds some
function pointers.
More over, dvb_usb_device_properties->i2c_algo seems to only be copied in
i2c_adapter->algo, which is already a "const struct i2c_algorithm".
This is done in dvb_usbv2_i2c_init()
On a x86_64, with allmodconfig, as an example:
