commit 0527873b29b077fc8e656acd63e1866b429fef55 upstream.

gcc-7 warns about some declarations that are more 'const' than necessary:

arch/arm/mach-at91/pm.c:338:34: error: duplicate 'const' declaration specifier [-Werror=duplicate-decl-specifier]
static const struct of_device_id const ramc_ids[] __initconst = {
arch/arm/mach-bcm/bcm_kona_smc.c:36:34: error: duplicate 'const' declaration specifier [-Werror=duplicate-decl-specifier]
static const struct of_device_id const bcm_kona_smc_ids[] __initconst = {
arch/arm/mach-spear/time.c:207:34: error: duplicate 'const' declaration specifier [-Werror=duplicate-decl-specifier]
static const struct of_device_id const timer_of_match[] __initconst = {
arch/arm/mach-omap2/prm_common.c:714:34: error: duplicate 'const' declaration specifier [-Werror=duplicate-decl-specifier]
static const struct of_device_id const omap_prcm_dt_match_table[] __initconst = {
arch/arm/mach-omap2/vc.c:562:35: error: duplicate 'const' declaration specifier [-Werror=duplicate-decl-specifier]
static const struct i2c_init_data const omap4_i2c_timing_data[] __initconst = {

The ones in arch/arm were apparently all introduced accidentally by one commit that correctly marked a lot of variables as __initconst.
