Subject: [ 91/95] Staging: speakup: fix an improperly-declared variable.

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Christopher Brannon <chris@...-brannons.com>

commit 4ea418b8b2fa8a70d0fcc8231b65e67b3a72984b upstream.

A local static variable was declared as a pointer to a string
constant.  We're assigning to the underlying memory, so it
needs to be an array instead.
