From: Uwe Kleine-König Date: Sat, 11 Jul 2009 20:53:05 +0000 (+0200) Subject: move stk17ta8's probe function to .devinit.text X-Git-Tag: v2.6.33-rc1~342^2^2~25 X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=81e627e00a2eabfa573eb4558e31c0c98fcb7e5a;p=pandora-kernel.git move stk17ta8's probe function to .devinit.text A pointer to stk17ta8_rtc_probe is passed to the core via platform_driver_register and so the function must not disappear when the .init sections are discarded. Otherwise (if also having HOTPLUG=y) unbinding and binding a device to the driver via sysfs will result in an oops as does a device being registered late. An alternative to this patch is using platform_driver_probe instead of platform_driver_register plus removing the pointer to the probe function from the struct platform_driver.
