As I already said, the samsung_cmu_register_on() requires
the 'const' type argument for 'struct samsung_cmu_info'.

So, I defined the instance on the out of the exynos5260_clk_aud_init() as following:
	static const struct samsung_cmu_info aud_cmu __initconst = {

How can i add the 'const' keyword and '__initsecion' to the 
"struct samsung_cmu_info aud_cmu" in the "static void __init 
exynos5260_clk_aud_init(struct device_node *np)"?
