(uart_parse_options() and uart_set_options()). Assuming, setup will be called during init time, changing serial8250_console_setup() to __init. o Adding one more pattern to modpost whitelist. Console drivers might have *_console structures containing references to setup functions which can be of __init type. Don't generate warnings for those.
