[PATCH 1/9] mtd: add 'const' qualifier to a couple of register functions

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

'mtd_device_parse_register()' and 'parse_mtd_partitions()' functions accept a
an array of character pointers. These functions modify neither the pointers nor
the characters they point to. The characters are actually names of the MTD
parsers.

At the moment, the argument type is 'const char **', which means that only the
names of the parsers are constant. Let's turn the argument type into 'const
char * const *', which means that both names and the pointers which point to
them are constant.
