Bah, didn't send to everyone last time...

Building with CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH enabled, the only warning
I get is for drivers/w1/masters/w1-gpio.o.

WARNING: drivers/w1/masters/w1-gpio.o(.data+0x0): Section mismatch in
reference from the variable w1_gpio_driver to the function
.init.text:w1_gpio_probe()
The variable w1_gpio_driver references
the function __init w1_gpio_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

Shouldn't I be seeing a warning for
drivers/clk/mvebu/clk-gating-ctrl.o at this point as well?
