find_dock and find_bay are only called by dock_init which lives in .init.text dock_add is only called by find_dock and find_bay. So all three functions can be moved to .init.text, too. This fixes: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x2134b7): Section mismatch in reference from the function dock_add() to the function .init.text:platform_device_register_resndata() The function dock_add() references the function __init platform_device_register_resndata(). This is often because dock_add lacks a __init annotation or the annotation of platform_device_register_resndata is wrong. for a build with unset CONFIG_MODULES. Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-KÃnig <u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Hello, since the first submission of the patch back in June I reworded the commit log to make it (hopefully) more understandable. Since then platform_device_register_data was marked __init_or_module, so the problem is real now (and only occurs with CONFIG_MODULES=n).
