ARM: appropriate __init annotation for const data

Init data marked const should be annotated with __initconst for
correctness and not __initdata.  This also fixes LTO builds that
otherwise fails with section mismatch errors.

Applied, thanks.

Well... The kbuild test robot reports section mismatch for some machines 
with this patch applied.  I fail to understand why.  Unless someone 
else figures out what's going on, you should probably drop this patch 
for now.

this one (and a few others) are wrong. This is a (mutable) array of
pointers to constant strings and so you have to use one of:

	static const char *cns3xxx_dt_compat[] __initdata = {
	static const char *const cns3xxx_dt_compat[] __initconst = {

Best regards
Uwe

Yeah, I noticed my own builder found a few issues too. I'll drop it
from the 4.2 fixes branch, and when you've respun we'll apply it for
4.3.
