The patch was suggested by the following modpost warning:
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.data+0xa3900): Section mismatch in reference from the variable mxs_dma_driver to the function .init.text:mxs_dma_probe()
The variable mxs_dma_driver references
the function __init mxs_dma_probe()
If the reference is valid then annotate the
variable with __init* or __refdata (see linux/init.h) or name the variable:
*_template, *_timer, *_sht, *_ops, *_probe, *_probe_one, *_console
