[PATCH 07/28] mfd: db8500-prcmu: Make AB8500 cell and IRQ resource static

db8500_prcmu_register_ab8500() declares struct resource ab850x_resource
and the mfd_cell descriptors on the stack and assigns &ab850x_resource
to ab850x_cell->resources.  Although mfd_add_device() deep-copies the
resource table via platform_device_add_resources() before
db8500_prcmu_register_ab8500() returns, the shallow MFD cell copy
attached to the child platform device retains a stale pointer to the
expired stack frame.

Mark ab850x_resource as static and the ab8500_cell and ab8505_cell
descriptors as static const so the resource pointer remains valid for
the lifetime of the device.
