With CONFIG_HOTPLUG=n all code marked __devexit are discarded and the linker complains. It was tracked down to sparcspkr.c which were missing __devexit_p() around the function pointers. Unfortunately modpost did not catch this since modpost do not warn about references from .data to .devexit from variables named *_driver. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg Signed-off-by: David S.
