[PATCH v2] fbdev: work around old compiler bug

From: Stephen Rothwell
Date: Tue Jun 23 2009 - 01:44:43 EST


When building with a 4.1.x compiler on powerpc64 (at least) we get
this error:

drivers/video/logo/logo_linux_mono.c:81: error: logo_linux_mono causes a section type conflict

This was introduced by commit ae52bb2384f721562f15f719de1acb8e934733cb
("fbdev: move logo externs to header file"). This is a partial revert
of that commit sufficient to not hit the compiler bug.

v2: also convert _clut arrays from __initconst to __initdata.
