I get a modpost warning when I build the kernel. Before the patches, the old overlay tests did not apply the overlays from overlay FDTs. Instead the overlay fragment nodes were hand coded into the testcases dts, and the overlay apply code just grabbed the fragment nodes from the live testcases tree and called the overlay code to apply the fragment nodes. With the new FDT based overlay API, I was able to make the test overlays actual overlay dts files and dtbs. This change involved changing of_unittest_apply_overlay() to no longer call of_overlay_apply() (which passed in a pointer to a node from the live testcases tree), but instead call overlay_data_apply() (which handles finding the requested fdt and applies it). overlay_data_apply() is already an __init() function. There are a few more functions that I would expect modpost to warn about, but it does not. > There is a mix of some functions being marked __init and some not, > so that will be worth another patch someday. > > >> >> Rob >> > > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
