Subject: [media] s5p-tv: mark const init data with __initconst instead of __initdata
Author:  Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig at pengutronix.de>
Date:    Fri Mar 30 16:05:03 2012 -0300

As long as there is no other non-const variable marked __initdata in the
same compilation unit it doesn't hurt. If there were one however
compilation would fail with

	error: $variablename causes a section type conflict

because a section containing const variables is marked read only and so
cannot contain non-const variables.
