[PATCH 2/2] soc: fsl: fix section mismatch build warnings

From: Sudeep Holla
Date: Wed Nov 16 2016 - 11:39:42 EST


We get the following warning with the driver is compiled in:

WARNING: modpost: Found 1 section mismatch(es).
To see full details build your kernel with:
'make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y'

With CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH enabled, the details are reported:

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x55d014): Section mismatch in reference from the
function fsl_guts_probe() to the function
.init.text:of_flat_dt_get_machine_name()
The function fsl_guts_probe() references
the function __init of_flat_dt_get_machine_name().
This is often because fsl_guts_probe lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of of_flat_dt_get_machine_name is wrong.

This patch stashes the machine name during fsl_guts_init initcall to
fix the above warnings.
