[4/9] /dev/mem: make mem_class a static const structure
Commit Message
From: Ivan Orlov <ivan.orlov0322@gmail.com>
Now that the driver core allows for struct class to be in read-only
memory, move the mem_class structure to be declared at build time
placing it into read-only memory, instead of having to be dynamically
allocated at load time.
