I get

WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text+0x132c): Section mismatch in reference from the function prom_soc_init() to the function .init.text:mt7621_memory_detect()
The function prom_soc_init() references
the function __init mt7621_memory_detect().
This is often because prom_soc_init lacks a __init 
annotation or the annotation of mt7621_memory_detect is wrong.

Can you please fix this ?

Crap can work. Given enough thrust pigs will fly, but it's not necessarily a
