I don't know what is the practise in mesa to declare read-only variables as
constants but there are a few candidates here:

If I'm reading the logic below correctly, 'fs_inst' is only read and hence could
be declared as const.

If one assigned 'endif_inst' here instead and 'start' below against
'endif_inst', then 'start' could be constant as well. In fact aren't
'endif_inst' and 'start' pointing to the same thing all the way through?

And here 'match' could be declared constant. Of course it requires a change in
the signature of 'match_movs_from_endif()' also but I think this is the only
invocation (I didn't check the other patches for further re-use that require
write access).

And here 'm' could be declared as pointer to constant also.
