PATCH 1/1 pinctrl: rza1: constify gpio_chip structure

This structure is only used to copy into other structure, so declare it as const.

This issue was detected using Coccinelle and the following semantic patch:

@r disable optional_qualifier@
identifier i;
position p;
@@
static struct gpio_chip i@p = { ... };

@ok@
identifier r.i;
expression e;
position p;
@@
e = i@p;

@bad@
position p != {r.p,ok.p};
identifier r.i;
struct gpio_chip e;
@@
e@i@p

@depends on !bad disable optional_qualifier@
identifier r.i;
@@
static
+const
struct gpio_chip i = { ... };

In the following log you can see a significant difference in the code size and data segment, hence in the dec segment. This log is the output of the size command, before and after the code change:
