Good catch. Missed this one.

In cci_platform_probe, cci_probed is called to check whether the CCI has 
been initialised, and also to initialise it if required.

Even if the check for cci_init_status is moved out, I'll still need to 
call cci_init which will again cause a section mis-match.

I think removing the annotations is the way to go. Is it OK to fold your 
patch into the CCI PMU patch, or you prefer to keep it separate?
