pci_device_id are not supposed to change at runtime. All functions
working with pci_device_id provided by <linux/pci.h> work with
const pci_device_id. So mark the non-const structs as const.

File size before:
text data bss dec hex filename
6560 23212 72 29844 7494 gpu/drm/radeon/radeon_drv.o

File size After adding 'const':
text data bss dec hex filename
28960 812 72 29844 7494 gpu/drm/radeon/radeon_drv.o

Impressive result for such a simple change.

Patch is Reviewed-by: Christian KÃnig <christian.koenig@xxxxxxx>

Are the PCI IDs already const in amdgpu or do we need a similar patch there as well? I only see patch 1 of 5 in my inbox.

Christian.
