Don't populate const arrays on the stack, instead make them
static.  Makes the object code smaller by nearly 400 bytes:

Before:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  15164	   6336	      0	  21500	   53fc	drivers/video/backlight/s6e63m0.o

After:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  14669	   6432	      0	  21101	   526d	drivers/video/backlight/s6e63m0.o

For future records, can you record the compiler version, architecture 
and optimization level (-O2 or -Os) to the patch header?

I'd be inclined to throw in an extra const to help the compile spot any 
negligent maintenance in the future:

static const unsigned short * const init_seq[];
