Remove unnecessary static on local variable syscon_regmap. Such variables are initialized before being used, on every execution path throughout the functions. So, the static has no benefit.
This issue was detected using Coccinelle and the following semantic patch: @bad exists@ position p; identifier x; type T; @@ static T x@p; ... x = <+...x...+> @@ identifier x; expression e; type T; position p != bad.p; @@ -static T x@p; ... when != x when strict ?x = e; Signed-off-by: Gustavo A.
