The table of devicetree identifiers is annotated as __initconst indicating that it can be discarded after kernel boot but it is referenced from the driver struct which has no init annotation leading to a linker warning: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.data+0x82d58): Section mismatch in reference from the variable bcm_iproc_gpio_driver to the variable .init.rodata:bcm_iproc_gpio_of_match The variable bcm_iproc_gpio_driver references the variable __initconst bcm_iproc_gpio_of_match Since drivers can be probed after init the lack of annotation on the driver struct is correct so remove the annotation from the match table.
