The definition

	static const char *axxia_dt_match[] __initconst = {
		...

defines a changable array of constant strings. That is you must not do:

	*axxia_dt_match[0] = 'k';

but

	axxia_dt_match[0] = "different string";

is fine. So the annotation __initconst is wrong and yields a compiler
error when other really const variables are added with __initconst.

As the struct machine_desc member dt_compat is declared as

	const char *const *dt_compat;

making the arrays const is the better alternative over changing all
annotations to __initdata.

ARM: Add platform support for LSI AXM55xx SoC 2014-05-23T16:18:39+00:00 Anders Berg anders.berg@lsi.com 2014-05-23T09:08:35+00:00 1d22924e1c4e299337e86e290c02c3e3eb43b608 The AXM55xx family consists of devices that may contain up to 16 ARM Cortex-A15 cores (in a 4x4 cluster configuration). The cores within each cluster share an L2 cache, and the clusters are connected to each other via a CCN-504 cache coherent interconnect. This machine requires CONFIG_ARM_LPAE enabled as all peripherals are located above 4GB in the memory map.
