CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH doesn't catch this type of error.

The compiler catches if a single section contains both modifiable and
constant data. The linker doesn't seem to check anything here. So you
have to do it consistently per compilation unit. (I'm not aware of any
problems if you do it consistently wrong in a compilation unit, but
better do it consistently right :-)
I'm sure getting it right isn't that hard, so IMHO this should be fixed
before your patch is applied.

This should be __initconst (to do it consistently right).

I remember trying something like that some time ago, but without
success. I didn't modify clk-composite.c but still I would be surprised
if it were that easy.
(The result were commits like 4a043d79dc2d and 145047de9940.)
