Add 'const' qualifier to all static resource arrays in device.c.
These arrays are never modified at runtime, they are only read by
platform device registration functions.

FWIW, I looked at other similar use cases - that is platform drivers specifying
constant resources like this - and it seems they mostly do not use const for
them. There is quite a few cases throughout superh and arm architecture code.

Maybe defer add const until platform_device change define.
