Subject: [Linux-ia64] USB driver does not build in kernel

Hello,

I try to build a kernel that integrates the usb-uhci driver and I get
an error at ld time (gcc 2.96 & gcc 3.0.1):

drivers/usb/usbdrv.o: In function `alloc_uhci':
drivers/usb/usbdrv.o(.text.init+0x802): relocation truncated to fit: PCREL2=
1B uhci_pci_remove

I think this is due to uhci_pci_remove() being declared as:

_static void __devexit uhci_pci_remove (struct pci_dev *dev)

and being called by alloc_uhci().

I removed the __devexit attribute and all seems to be OK.
As __devexit should mean "only used at exit time", according to init.h.

A possible patch could be:

--- linux-2.4.16-ori/drivers/usb/usb-uhci.c	Fri Nov  9 22:41:42 2001
+++ linux-2.4.16/drivers/usb/usb-uhci.c	Wed Dec  5 14:49:40 2001
