The argument to vec_splat_u16 must be a literal. By making the
function always inline and marking the arguments const, gcc can
turn those into literals, and avoid build errors like:

swscale_vsx.c:165:53: error: argument 1 must be a 5-bit signed literal

Fixes #7861.

Why marking the arguments const?
If it depends on that it sounds like this might be really unreliable and just work or not work with random compiler versions.
It would also be nice to know if/what the impact on code size or performance would be of always inline.
An alternative, uglier but likely more reliable option would be to pass the vswap/vshift vectors as arguments and have a macro that generates them (admit the multiple-evaluation risks though)
e.g.
#define yuv2plane1_16_vsx(s, d, w, b, o) yuv2plane1_16_vsx(s, d, w, b, o, vec_splat_u16(b ? 8 : 0))

I also realise now that the vec_splat_u16 is just an optimization.
So maybe the first step would to be to check if there is actually a relevant performance advantage or if it wouldn't be simplest to just use the generic initialization code.

Well, note that this has already been done before http://git.videolan.org/?p=ffmpeg.git;a=commitdiff;h=153fcd6de6ba558a3720c64589a7e4e9e4d62420

So these changes are just in line with older ones.
