Subject: crypto: crc32c-pclmul - use .rodata instead of .rotata
From: Nicolas Iooss <nicolas.iooss_linux@m4x.org>
commit 97bce7e0b58dfc7d159ded329f57961868fb060b upstream.
Module crc32c-intel uses a special read-only data section named .rotata.
This section is defined for K_table, and its name seems to be a spelling
mistake for .rodata.
Fixes: 473946e674eb ("crypto: crc32c-pclmul - Shrink K_table to 32-bit words")
