------------------------------------------------------
From: Joe Perches <joe@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: checkpatch: add test for char * arrays that could be static const
static const char* arrays create smaller text as each function call does
not have to populate the array.
Emit a warning when char *arrays aren't static const and the array is not
apparently global by being declared in the first column.
