Don't populate the const array m_div_val on the stack but instead make
it static. Makes the object code smaller by 29 bytes:

Before:
    text	   data	  bss   dec    hex filename
   34736	   4552	    0 39288   9978 drivers/gpu/drm/mgag200/mgag200_mode.o

After:
    text	   data	  bss   dec    hex filename
   34625	   4616	    0 39241   9949 drivers/gpu/drm/mgag200/mgag200_mode.o

(gcc version 10.2.0)

Very nice. I'm actually surprised that the compiler doesn't figure this out automatically. When I once tested this (in userspace) it did so. Maybe the kernel is different?

For style reasons, I would have moved the static definition to the top of the function; before the variable declarations. In any case:

If I don't here from you, I'll merge the patch soonish.

Best regards
