[patch 2/2] kernel/power/disk.c string fix and if-less iterator

[domen]

From: Ricardo Nabinger Sanchez <rnsanchez@xxxxxxxxxxxx>



The attached patch:

o  Fixes kernel/power/disk.c string declared as 'char *p = "...";' to be
   declared as 'char p[] = "...";', as pointed by Jeff Garzik.

o  Replaces:
	i++:
	if (i > 3) i = 0;

   By:
	i = (i + 1) % (sizeof(p) - 1);

   Which is if-less, and the adjust value is evaluated by the compiler in
   compile-time in case the string related to this loop is modified.
