As described in the added code comment, a reference to .exit.text is ok
for drivers registered via module_platform_driver_probe(). Make this
explicit to prevent the following section mismatch warning

	WARNING: modpost: drivers/virt/coco/sev-guest/sev-guest: section mismatch in reference: sev_guest_driver+0x10 (section: .data) -> sev_guest_remove (section: .exit.text)

that triggers on an allmodconfig W=1 build.

I'd like to enable these warnings even for W=0 builds, so it would be
great to get it into the main line soon.

If you apply it, please notice that I fat-fingered the parameters to git
send-email and it was sent in a thread. So (assuming you're using b4)
you'd need:

        b4 am -P _ 4a81b0e87728a58904283e2d1f18f73abc69c2a1.1711748999.git.u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de

This patch didn't make it into next up to now. Is there a chance to get
it into v6.10-rc1?
