Subject: [PATCH] media: em28xx-input: make const array addr_list static

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

Don't populate the array addr_list on the stack but instead make it
static. Makes the object code smaller by 20 bytes

Before:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename^M
  16929    3626     384   20939    51cb ../usb/em28xx/em28xx-input.o

After:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename^M
  16829    3706     384   20919    51b7 ../usb/em28xx/em28xx-input.o

(gcc version 8.3.0, aarch64)
