[PATCH] net/mlx4_en: ethtool: make array modes static const, makes object smaller

From: Colin King
Date: Fri Sep 06 2019 - 07:53:54 EST


From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Don't populate the array modes on the stack but instead make it
static const. Makes the object code smaller by 303 bytes.

Before:
text data bss dec hex filename
51240 5008 1312 57560 e0d8 mellanox/mlx4/en_ethtool.o

After:
text data bss dec hex filename
50937 5008 1312 57257 dfa9 mellanox/mlx4/en_ethtool.o

(gcc version 9.2.1, amd64)
