[PATCH] staging: sm750fb: make g_fbmode array const pointer const

From: Shravya <hidden>
Date: 2026-06-24 23:39:54
Also in: linux-staging, lkml
Subsystem: staging - silicon motion sm750 frame buffer driver, staging subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Sudip Mukherjee, Teddy Wang, Greg Kroah-Hartman, Linus Torvalds

Add the const qualifier to the g_fbmode array pointers to make
the entire structure read-only. This resolves a checkpatch warning
and allows the compiler to put the data into the read-only segment.
