Summary of changes

constexpr specified can not be used with ARMC5 compiler and is causing build failures.
Switching constexpr to const should not consume extra ROM (in case of ARMC6) and should be ok to ARMC5.

Negative side-effect for ARMC5 is that static_spi_pinmap and the HAL SPI pinmap table and computation code will be pulled in even if not referenced.

In theory, removing the constexpr would permit the same effect to happen on other compilers with badly-written HALs - removing the constexpr gets rid of the check that get_spi_pinmap is compile-time, not runtime.

But I guess we'd spot that in code size if it occurred. (Or maybe we have Greentea tests that check the get_pinmaps really are constexpr?)
