[PATCH] Fix section mismatch warning.

[PATCH] Fix section mismatch warning.

[Sanjeev Premi]

This warning is observed when building for OMAP3EVM with pm-20081106.

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.data+0x89d4): Section mismatch in reference from the variable omap3evm_twldata to the variable .init.data:generic3430_t2scripts_data
The variable omap3evm_twldata references
the variable __initdata generic3430_t2scripts_data
If the reference is valid then annotate the
variable with __init* (see linux/init.h) or name the variable:
*driver, *_template, *_timer, *_sht, *_ops, *_probe, *_probe_one, *_console,

I know that Beagle and Overo get the same warnings, so this
isn't really a sufficient fix...

... and that's incorrect in any case, since that data is used
by probe() code that's doesn't sit in an init section.

I have the following in my patchset, currently disabled since
it conflicts with other patches.  And in any case, Beagle can't
reboot with these "generic" scripts for some TBD reason.

Was trying to fix for EVM. Can extend to these boards once we have a fix.

Function probe() would be in __devinit. Changing __initdata to __devinit
would be fine for compilation. Do you see any issues with it?

BTW, I could not locate the definition of platform_driver for twl4030
to verify if probe() is indeed in __devinit.

__initdata_or_module would do the trick for static and dynamically
linked modules. When building it statically, we'd get a bit of
shrinkage, right ?

doesn't make sense.

It's in drivers/base/platform.c

Not in this case.  Recall there are several drivers who
would all need to be using non-hotpluggable structures ...
but since the root of their tree must be hotpluggable,
they can't work that way.

Can't work that way.

In this case, drivers/mfd/twl4030-power.c is what will use that
data, and it's called from drivers/mfd/twl4030-core.c ... which
is an I2C client.

I don't know of any cases when it's safe to have I2C drivers
have their probe() use an __init or __devinit annotation.
