The warning comes from postprocessing the object file, it's got
nothing to do with the bus type, only with a symbol in .data
referencing a symbol in .init.text. Maybe there are some
config options that keep the section from getting discarded?
Or possibly you only built the files in this directory, but did
not get to the final link?
