configuration structures are const which keeps them in flash instead of ram.
However the library needs to declare them const for the compiler to work.

Many of the STM32 library functions take a pointer to an
initialization structure. In nearly every case, this struct
is a read-only (ie. const) parameter.
It is advantageous (and good coding practice) to actually declare
read-only data as const so that the compiler can place the const data
in the .rodata section which resides in flash and doesn't consume any
RAM. This has the added bonus advantage that it is impossible for the
running application to corrupt the read-only data.
In order to allow passing pointers to const data into the library
functions, it is essential that the function prototypes also declare
their associated read-only parameters as const. This commit adds
the const attribute to those parameters that are actually read-only.
