Subject: [PATCH 1/2] staging: sm750fb: make const arrays static const char * const

Fix checkpatch warning:
"WARNING: static const char * array should probably be
 static const char * const"

This makes both the array and its contents immutable, which is the
intended behavior for these constant string arrays:
- g_fbmode: array of framebuffer mode strings
- fixId: array of framebuffer device names
