From: Uwe Kleine-König Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2009 11:25:25 +0000 (+0000) Subject: net: move sb1250-mac's probe function to .devinit.text X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ffe8553f8871dabf61d49e7f97a2c6cbc7dc23cb;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git net: move sb1250-mac's probe function to .devinit.text A pointer to sbmac_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.
