    ARM: make arrays containing machine compatible strings const · 543c5040

    The definition
    
    	static const char *axxia_dt_match[] __initconst = {
    		...
    
    defines a changable array of constant strings. That is you must not do:
    
    	*axxia_dt_match[0] = 'k';
    
    but
    
    	axxia_dt_match[0] = "different string";
    
    is fine. So the annotation __initconst is wrong and yields a compiler
    error when other really const variables are added with __initconst.
    
    As the struct machine_desc member dt_compat is declared as
    
    	const char *const *dt_compat;
    
    making the arrays const is the better alternative over changing all
    annotations to __initdata.
