PATCH 1/1 pinctrl: coh901: constify gpio_chip structure
This structure is only used to copy into another 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@

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:
