Commit 09e5b3fd5672 ("Fonts: Support FONT_EXTRA_WORDS macros for built-in fonts") introduced the following error when building rpc_defconfig (only this build appears to be affected):
`acorndata_8x8' referenced in section `.text' of arch/arm/boot/compressed/ll_char_wr.o: defined in discarded section `.data' of arch/arm/boot/compressed/font.o `acorndata_8x8' referenced in section `.data.rel.ro' of arch/arm/boot/compressed/font.o: defined in discarded section `.data' of arch/arm/boot/compressed/font.o make[3]: *** [/scratch/linux/arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile:191: arch/arm/boot/compressed/vmlinux] Error 1 make[2]: *** [/scratch/linux/arch/arm/boot/Makefile:61: arch/arm/boot/compressed/vmlinux] Error 2 make[1]: *** [/scratch/linux/arch/arm/Makefile:317: zImage] Error 2
The .data section is discarded at link time. Reinstating acorndata_8x8 as const ensures it is still available after linking.
