Sorry for giving you trouble over such a simple patch (especially
one that I have acked already), but I just noticed that this is
not following the common style we use in the kernel.

Almost everywhere in Linux, we use

static const struct of_device_id sdhci_bcm_kona_of_match[] = {

not

static struct of_device_id const sdhci_bcm_kona_of_match[] = {

AFAICT they behave in identical ways, but the first one seems
easier to read for someone familiar with kernel code.
