config: i386-randconfig-x003-201908 (attached as .config)
compiler: gcc-8 (Debian 8.2.0-20) 8.2.0
reproduce:
# save the attached .config to linux build tree
make ARCH=i386

All warnings (new ones prefixed by >>):

>> WARNING: net/appletalk/appletalk.o(.init.text+0x104): Section mismatch in reference from the function init_module() to the function .exit.text:atalk_proc_exit()
The function __init init_module() references
a function __exit atalk_proc_exit().
This is often seen when error handling in the init function
uses functionality in the exit path.
The fix is often to remove the __exit annotation of
atalk_proc_exit() so it may be used outside an exit section.
