Don't populate array 'names' on the stack but instead make them static.
Makes the object code smaller by 50 bytes:

Before:
     text          data     bss     dec     hex filename
    21237          9192    1120   31549    7b3d linux/sound/drivers/dummy.o

After:
     text          data     bss     dec     hex filename
    21095          9280    1120   31495    7b07 linux/sound/drivers/dummy.o

(gcc version 7.2.0 x86_64)

Total size of snd-dummy.ko increases but this patch has an advantage
to have the symbol in read-only section.

The total size decreases :)

Ah, yes. The state of my local build tree is not good to calculate it... In fact, the relocatable object decreases its size when built with a header package from Ubuntu repository.


Thanks
