Subject: [PATCH][V2] ata: pata_artop: make arrays static const, makes object smaller

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

Don't populate the const arrays on the stack but instead make them
static. Makes the object code smaller by 292 bytes.

Before:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
   6988	   3132	    128	  10248	   2808	drivers/ata/pata_artop.o

After:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
   6536	   3292	    128	   9956	   26e4	drivers/ata/pata_artop.o

(gcc version 9.2.1, amd64)
