If we can live with this warning until the new READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE gets merged, we can probably keep things as-is for now.

With the kcsan changes, __read_once_size() is not inlined, but clang can decide to emit a version that hardcodes the address, which in turn triggers a warning for dss_conv_list being __initdata but __read_once_size() not being __init: WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text+0x6e4d7a): Section mismatch in reference from the function __read_once_size() to the variable .init.data:dss_conv_list The function __read_once_size() references the variable __initdata dss_conv_list. This is often because __read_once_size lacks a __initdata annotation or the annotation of dss_conv_list is wrong. This is clearly a false positive warning, but it's hard to tell who is to blame for it. Work around it by removing the __initdata annotation, wasting the space of two pointers in return for getting rid of the warning.
