From: Colin Ian King <colin.king at canonical.com>

Don't populate const array filter_ies on the stack but instead
make it static. Makes the object code smaller by 261 bytes.

Before:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  21674	   3166	    448	  25288	   62c8	drivers/staging/wfx/sta.o

After:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  21349	   3230	    448	  25027	   61c3	drivers/staging/wfx/sta.o

(gcc version 10.2.0)
