Subject: [PATCH] [media] cx25840: make array stds static const, reduces object code size

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

Don't populate the array syds on the stack, instead make it static const.
Makes the object code smaller by over 280 bytes:

Before:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  81451	  12784	    704	  94939	  172db	cx25840-core.o

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  81070	  12880	    704	  94654	  171be	cx25840-core.o
