Add 'const' qualifier to 'g_fbmode' and 'g_def_fbmode' pointer
declarations to make them 'static const char * const', as the
pointers themselves are not modified after initialization.

This fixes the following checkpatch.pl warning:
  WARNING: static const char * array should probably be
  static const char * const

These are not all threaded together, can you please resend them all as a
correct patch series?
