Don't populate the array err_msg on the stack but instead make it
static. Makes the object code smaller by 64 bytes.
While at it, add a missing const, as reported by checkpatch.

Hi Christophe,
Thank you for sending the patches over and taking care about these!
I was wondering whether you will be willing to send a v2 of this series
that would include fixes to everything the checkpatch.pl script reports
against this driver? There aren't a lot of things to fix, thus the idea
to squash everything at once. These warnings would be as follows
(excluding the ones you taken care of in this series):
drivers/pci/controller/pci-tegra.c:1661: WARNING: please, no space before tabs
drivers/pci/controller/pci-tegra.c:1890: WARNING: quoted string split across lines
drivers/pci/controller/pci-tegra.c:1891: WARNING: quoted string split across lines
drivers/pci/controller/pci-tegra.c:2619: WARNING: Symbolic permissions 'S_IRUGO' are not preferred. Consider using octal permissions '0444'.
These should be trivial to fix. The two pertaining to "quoted string
split across lines" would be something that we might or might not decide
to do anything about this - technically, as per the Linux kernel coding
style [1], we ought to fix this... but, this particular case is not
a terrible example, so I will leave this at your discretion.
What do you think?
Also, don't worry if you don't have the time or otherwise, as these are
trivial things and it would only be a bonus to take care of them.

Hi,
I don't think it worth it.
Even for patch 2/3 about 'seq_printf' --> 'seq_puts' conversion, I'm not
fully convinced myself that is useful.
Too trivial clean-ups only mess-up 'git blame' for no real added value.
If you want these clean-ups, I can send a patch for it, but checkpatch
output need sometimes to be ignored on files already in the tree. At
least, this is my point of view.

I personally believe it's a good change.
For a literal string without any formatting using the seq_printf() is
much more involved for no reason, but aside of this small performance
improvement, it also has some value in demonstrating the correct usage
patterns - people spent more time reading kernel code and looking at how
to do things and use things to base their work on, so setting some
example is not a bad idea.
Albeit, it's a matter of point of view too, I suppose.

Yes, there is a fine line with these.

No worries! Thank you for giving it some thought! I appreciate it. :)
