The allmodconfig hits:

|WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x6553d): Section mismatch in reference from the function intel_scu_devices_create() to the function .devinit.text: spi_register_board_info()
|The function intel_scu_devices_create() references
|the function __devinit spi_register_board_info().
|This is often because intel_scu_devices_create lacks a __devinit
|annotation or the annotation of spi_register_board_info is wrong.

|WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x655f1): Section mismatch in reference from the function intel_scu_devices_create() to the function .init.text:i2c _register_board_info()
|The function intel_scu_devices_create() references
|the function __init i2c_register_board_info().
|This is often because intel_scu_devices_create lacks a __init
|annotation or the annotation of i2c_register_board_info is wrong.

This patch marks intel_scu_devices_create() as devinit because it calls
a devinit function, spi_register_board_info().
The second problem with i2c_register_board_info() does not go away and
should crash once build as a module because i2c_register_board_info() is
long gone. Therefore this function should not be used from a module.
Going through all the code here makes me ask, why don't use DT here for
all that I2C and friends?
