Subject: [PATCH] tpm_tis: make array cmd_getticks static const to shink object code size

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

Don't populate array cmd_getticks on the stack, instead make it static
const.  Makes the object code smaller by over 160 bytes:

Before:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  18813	   3152	    128	  22093	   564d	drivers/char/tpm/tpm_tis_core.o

After:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  18554	   3248	    128	  21930	   55aa	drivers/char/tpm/tpm_tis_core.o
