From: Uwe Kleine-König Date: Fri, 12 Feb 2010 20:10:47 +0000 (-0800) Subject: net: move am79c961's probe function to .devinit.text X-Git-Tag: MMI-PSA29.97-13-9~24841^2~375 X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=447d8c2603a417cca68240059fbf1babfd27774f;p=GitHub%2FMotorolaMobilityLLC%2Fkernel-slsi.git net: move am79c961's probe function to .devinit.text A pointer to am79c961_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.
