I think you are talking here about this one

WARNING: arch/arm/plat-omap/built-in.o(.data+0xd68): Section mismatch:
reference to .init.text: (between 'omap_timer' and 'omap_32k_timer_irq')

?

This is the last section mismatch I get after update to recent git.
What's the best way to remove this now? Remove __init/__initdata?
