fbtft dynamically allocates the fbops, for whatever reason. There were
others like that too. Some of the drivers modify the fbops runtime to
choose different hooks for different configurations. Can't change them
all anyway.

Facilitating making the fbops const is one thing (patches 1-8), but I'm
not really sure I want to sign up for exhaustively moving fbops to
rodata on anything beyond drivers/gpu/drm. It's not like I leave stuff
broken. Besides I am trying to cover all the low hanging fruit where I
can simply add the "const" and be done with it.

BR,
Jani.
