This structure is only used to copy into another structure, so declare
it as const.
This issue was detected using Coccinelle and the following semantic patch:
@r disable optional_qualifier@
identifier i;

static struct gpio_chip i@p = { ... };
@ok@

In the following log you can see a significant difference in the code size
and data segment, hence in the dec segment. This log is the output
of the size command, before and after the code change:
before:
text data bss dec hex filename
17545 5376 0 22921 5989 drivers/pinctrl/nomadik/pinctrl-abx500.o
after:
bss dec hex filename
17273 5320 0 22593 5841 drivers/pinctrl/nomadik/pinctrl-abx500.o
