[PATCH] staging: sm750fb/sm750.c: mark g_def_fbmode as const pointer

From: Maxim Codita <hidden>
Date: 2026-08-11 13:08:18
Also in: linux-staging, lkml
Subsystem: staging - silicon motion sm750 frame buffer driver, staging subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Sudip Mukherjee, Teddy Wang, Sudip Mukherjee, Greg Kroah-Hartman, Linus Torvalds

Fix a checkpatch.pl warning for g_def_fbmode by marking the pointer
as const. Ensures it is stored as read-only.

Note: g_fbmode[] is left as non-const as its elements are modified at
runtime by lynxfb_set_fbinfo() and sm750fb_setup().
