[PATCH] NET: MIPSsim: Fix modpost warning.

[PATCH] NET: MIPSsim: Fix modpost warning.

[Ralf Baechle]

$ make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y
[...]
WARNING: drivers/net/built-in.o(.data+0x0): Section mismatch in reference from the variable mipsnet_driver to the function .init.text:mipsnet_probe()
The variable mipsnet_driver references
the function __init mipsnet_probe()
If the reference is valid then annotate the
variable with __init* or __refdata (see linux/init.h) or name the variable:
*_template, *_timer, *_sht, *_ops, *_probe, *_probe_one, *_console,
[...]

Fixed by making mipsnet_probe __devinit.
