    fbdev: work around old compiler bug · 15e32524
    Stephen Rothwell authored
    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 ae52bb23
    
    
    ("fbdev: move logo externs to header file").  This is a partial revert of
    that commit sufficient to not hit the compiler bug.
    
    Also convert _clut arrays from __initconst to __initdata.

      Al analysed this some time ago.  When we say something is const then
      _sometimes_ gcc annotate the section as const(?) - sometimes not.  So if
      we have two variables/functions annotated __*const and gcc decides to
      annotate the section const only in one case we get a section type
      conflict.
