[PATCH RFC] mtd: const char * const stuff

Artem Bityutskiy dedekind1 at gmail.com
Mon Mar 11 12:28:38 EDT 2013 

From: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy at linux.intel.com>

This is a minor patch which should help us to get rid checkpatch warning which
advises to use 'const char * const' for a constant array of constant elements.

We change the 'mtd_device_parse_register' interface to use
'const char * const *' and amend all the users.

I will probably split this patch a little bit later, so this is just an RFC so
far.
