So now we're getting the following checkpatch warning:

WARNING: static const char * array should probably be static const char * const

It was added into checkpatch.pl by commit cb710ec (scripts/checkpatch.pl:
add warnings for static char that could be static const char).  I'm not
sure which warning we should ignore, the sparse or the checkpatch one.

Joe, comments?
