Subject: ARM: OMAP2+: Fix l2dis_3630 for rodata

From: Tony Lindgren <[email protected]>

commit eeaf9646aca89d097861caa24d9818434e48810e upstream.

We don't want to write to .text section. Let's move l2dis_3630 to .data and access it via a pointer.

For calculating the offset, let's optimize out the add and do it in ldr/str as suggested by Nicolas Pitre <[email protected]>.
