With

    -       static const char *jh7100_ext_clk[EXT_NUM_CLKS] =
    +       static const char *jh7100_ext_clk[EXT_NUM_CLKS] __initconst =

I get:

    drivers/clk/starfive/clk-starfive-jh7100.c: In function
‘clk_starfive_jh7100_probe’:
    drivers/clk/starfive/clk-starfive-jh7100.c:35:37: error:

which is a bit strange...
What am I missing?
