Drivers must not reference functions marked with __exit as these likely are not available when the code is built-in. As of v6.6-rc3 building an allyesconfig on arm64, m68k, powerpc, riscv, s390, sparc64 and x86_64 this now stricter check only triggers for a single driver (drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-etm4x-core.c). This one is indeed broken, a fix was already posted (https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20230929081637.2377335-1-u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx). This matches commit 0db252452378 ("modpost: don't allow *driver to reference .init.*") which only handled .init.*. Thanks to Masahiro Yamada and Arnd Bergmann who gave valuable hints to find this improvement.
