commit 5a66d59b5ff537ddae84a1f175c3f8eb1140a562 upstream.
The msi-ec driver fails to build for me (gcc 7.5):
CC [M] drivers/platform/x86/msi-ec.o
drivers/platform/x86/msi-ec.c:72:6: error: initializer element is not constant
{ SM_ECO_NAME, 0xc2 },
^~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/platform/x86/msi-ec.c:72:6: note: (near initialization for ‘CONF0.shift_mode.modes[0].name’)
drivers/platform/x86/msi-ec.c:73:6: error: initializer element is not constant
{ SM_COMFORT_NAME, 0xc1 },
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/platform/x86/msi-ec.c:73:6: note: (near initialization for ‘CONF0.shift_mode.modes[1].name’)
drivers/platform/x86/msi-ec.c:74:6: error: initializer element is not constant
{ SM_SPORT_NAME, 0xc0 },
^~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/platform/x86/msi-ec.c:74:6: note: (near initialization for ‘CONF0.shift_mode.modes[2].name’)
(...)
Don't try to be smart, just use defines for the constant strings. The
compiler will recognize it's the same string and will store it only
once in the data section anyway.
