In a gcc-11 randconfig build I came across this warning:
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text.unlikely+0x2c084): Section mismatch in reference from the function next_platform_timer() to the variable .init.data:acpi_gtdt_desc
The function next_platform_timer() references
the variable __initdata acpi_gtdt_desc.
This is often because next_platform_timer lacks a __initdata
annotation or the annotation of acpi_gtdt_desc is wrong.
This happens when next_platform_timer() fails to get inlined
despite the inline annotation. Adding '__init' solves the issue,
and it seems best to remove the 'inline' in the process seems
better anyway.
There was a patch to fix this issue as well [1],
but not merged yet.

My bad, we did not coordinate well - I noticed your Acked-by but as a
rule we should also CC LAKML and Catalin/Will (if they aren't CCed) on
the reply to make sure they can actually see it.
It's my bad. I will make sure LAKML and Catalin/Will are CCed next time
when I reply the email.
Thanks
Hanjun
