WARNING: drivers/tty/built-in.o(.data+0x3544): Section mismatch in
reference from the variable msm_platform_driver to the function
.init.text:msm_serial_probe()
The variable msm_platform_driver references
the function __init msm_serial_probe()
If the reference is valid then annotate the
variable with __init* or __refdata (see linux/init.h) or name the variable:
*_template, *_timer, *_sht, *_ops, *_probe, *_probe_one, *_console

Where is this mismatch showing up at?  3.15-rc8, 3.16-rc1?  Somewhere
older or else?

Linus' next branch, it was merged through arm-soc. I didn't notice it
in time to fix it before we sent to Linus. :(

Ok, do you want to take this patch then?  I don't mind taking it through
my tree, but it will have to wait until after 3.16-rc1 is out.  It's up
to you.

thanks,

I've got a handful of fixes we're queueing for the second batch of
merges, and I can add it to there.

I've applied it on top of the fixes branch now. I think I missed it when
I picked up the other fixes as I was only looking for patches sent to
arm@kernel.org.

Thanks for the reminder!
