[PATCH] net: phy: motorcomm: make const array mac_addr_reg static

From: Colin Ian King <hidden>
Date: 2025-08-07 13:15:43
Also in: kernel-janitors, lkml
Subsystem: ethernet phy library, motorcomm phy driver, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, Heiner Kallweit, Frank, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

Don't populate the const read-only arrays mac_addr_reg on the stack at
run time, instead make them static, this reduces the object code size.

Size before:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  65066	  11352	      0	  76418	  12a82	drivers/net/phy/motorcomm.o

Size after:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  64761	  11512	      0	  76273	  129f1	drivers/net/phy/motorcomm.o

Reducton of 145 bytes (gcc 14.2.0 x86-64)
