[RFC/PATCH] OMAP: Fix section mismatch

When compiling linux-omap with 'make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y'
the following output occurs:

WARNING: arch/arm/plat-omap/built-in.o(.data+0x6e8): Section mismatch in
reference from the variable omap_driver to the function
.init.text:omap_cpu_init()
The variable omap_driver references
the function __init omap_cpu_init()
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,

This patch fixes this by adding __refdata to the omap_driver variable.
