Subject: [PATCH] drm/nouveau/bios/init: make two const arrays static, makes object smaller

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

Don't populate const arrays on the stack but instead make them
static. Makes the object code smaller by 7 bytes.

Before:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 104041	   8284	      0	 112325	  1b6c5	drm/nouveau/nvkm/subdev/bios/init.o

After:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 103874	   8444	      0	 112318	  1b6be	drm/nouveau/nvkm/subdev/bios/init.o

(gcc version 10.2.0)
