This structure is only used to copy into another structure, so declare
it as const.
This issue was detected using Coccinelle and the following semantic patch:

In the following log you can see a significant difference in the code size
and data segment, hence in the dec segment. This log is the output
of the size command, before and after the code change:
before:
