[PATCH 2/2] mips: sibyte: make tb_class constant

[Ricardo B. Marliere]

Since commit 43a7206b0963 ("driver core: class: make class_register() take
a const *"), the driver core allows for struct class to be in read-only
memory, so move the tb_class structure to be declared at build time placing
it into read-only memory, instead of having to be dynamically allocated at
boot time.
