fbdev: work around old compiler bug
When building with a 4.1.x compiler on powerpc64 (at least) we get this
error:
drivers/video/logo/logo_linux_mono.c:81: error: logo_linux_mono causes a section type conflict
This was introduced by commit ae52bb2384f721562f15f719de1acb8e934733cb
("fbdev: move logo externs to header file"). This is a partial revert of
that commit sufficient to not hit the compiler bug.
Also convert _clut arrays from __initconst to __initdata.
Sam said:
Al analysed this some time ago. When we say something is const then
_sometimes_ gcc annotate the section as const(?) - sometimes not. So if
we have two variables/functions annotated __*const and gcc decides to
annotate the section const only in one case we get a section type
conflict.
