Yes it is absolutely possible to leave it in sis_main.c and remove it from the 
header files. I already thought about this when creating the patch, but 
decided against it, as the 17*5 = 85 bytes are allocated on the stack, while 
they nicely can be put in the .devinit.rodata section ;)

With the patch:
344072  sis_main.o
1200950 sisfb.o
1217491 sisfb.ko

vs without the patch and removing it only from the header:
 344176  sis_main.o
1201056  sisfb.o
1217597  sisfb.ko -> ~100bytes more in the final module.

However I'm fine with this  and will remove it from the header and squash this 
together with the 
"video/sis: Remove unused structs SiS_SDRDRAM_TYPE/SiS_DDRDRAM_TYPE"
I also sent to you.


Thanks,
Peterq
