I am using a recent DENX git tree.  I want to enable debugging in prom_parse.c.
When I do that, I see link warnings like:

WARNING: drivers/net/ibm_newemac/ibm_newemac.o(.data+0x6e0): Section mismatch in reference from the variable emac_of_bus_notifier to the function .devinit.text:emac_of_bus_notify()
The variable emac_of_bus_notifier references
the function __devinit emac_of_bus_notify()

WARNING: drivers/net/ibm_newemac/built-in.o(.devinit.text+0x14d4): Section mismatch in reference from the function emac_probe() to the function .devexit.text:rgmii_detach()
The function __devinit emac_probe() references
a function __devexit rgmii_detach().

I've made the following changes, which clean up the link warnings, but I'm not
sure this is the right way to fix the problem.  If it is correct, I'd like to
submit the patch.
