Subject: [PATCH v2] staging: sm750fb: make fix_id array fully const

The fix_id array contains constant string literals, but the array itself
is currently mutable. Make the array const so that the compiler can
place it in the .rodata section.

This fixes the checkpatch warning:
static const char * array should probably be static const char * const
