> Subject: [PATCH iwl-net] ice: health.c: fix compilation on gcc 7.5
> 
> GCC 7 is not as good as GCC 8+ in telling what is a compile-time const, and
> thus could be used for static storage. So we could not use variables for that,
> no matter how much "const" keyword is sprinkled around.
> 
> Excerpt from the report:
> My GCC is: gcc (Ubuntu 7.5.0-3ubuntu1~18.04) 7.5.0.
