Subject: Staging: speakup: fix an improperly-declared variable.
From: Christopher Brannon <[email protected]>
commit 4ea418b8b2fa8a70d0fcc8231b65e67b3a72984b upstream.
A local static variable was declared as a pointer to a string
constant. We're assigning to the underlying memory, so it
needs to be an array instead.
