Subject: [PATCH] rsi: make array fsm_state static const, makes object smaller

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

Don't populate the array fsm_state on the stack but instead it
static const. Makes the object code smaller by 154 bytes:

Before:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
   9213	   3904	      0	  13117	   333d	.../wireless/rsi/rsi_91x_debugfs.o

After:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
   8995	   3968	      0	  12963	   32a3	.../wireless/rsi/rsi_91x_debugfs.o

(gcc version 10.3.0)
