Subject: arch/x86: sfi: intel_scu_devices_create() section mismatch warnings
Date: Fri, 18 Dec 2015 13:11:24 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20151218211124.GC15346@malice.jf.intel.com> (raw)
I noticed the following in my build logs:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0xa90d8): 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.
The relevant code in arch/x86/platform/intel-mid/sfi.c:
> /* Called by IPC driver */
> void intel_scu_devices_create(void)
> {
> int i;
>
> for (i = 0; i < ipc_next_dev; i++)
> platform_device_add(ipc_devs[i]);

> for (i = 0; i < spi_next_dev; i++)
> spi_register_board_info(spi_devs[i], 1);
>

> i2c_register_board_info(i2c_bus[i], i2c_devs[i], 1);
i2c_register_board_info is annotated as __init and is intended for static
machine board-files.
The correct usage afaict is i2c_new_device() as used above. I presume what we're
doing here is falling back to the static style configuration if this driver
probes before the i2c adapters do?
What I wasn't able to determine quickly is if this is a safe thing to do and the
section mismatch can be ignored or not.
