[PATCH] fbcon: constify font data
const-ify the font control structures and data, to make somewhat better guarantees that these are not modified anywhere in the kernel. Specifically for a kernel debugger to share this information from the normal kernel code, such a guarantee seems rather desirable. Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Cc: "Antonino A.
