Subject: [PATCH] staging: sm750fb: make fixId array const

The fixId 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 read-only
data section (.rodata) instead of writable memory.

This fixes a warning detected by checkpatch.pl:
WARNING: static const char * array should probably be static const char * const
