As described in the added code comment, a reference to .exit.text is ok
for drivers registered via module_platform_driver_probe(). Make this
explicit to prevent a section mismatch warning with
CONFIG_MTD_NAND_TXX9NDFMC=m:
WARNING: modpost: drivers/mtd/nand/raw/txx9ndfmc: section mismatch in reference: txx9ndfmc_driver+0x4 (section: .data) -> txx9ndfmc_remove (section: .exit.text)
Fixes: 64fb65baffa5 ("[MTD] TXx9 SoC NAND Flash Memory Controller driver")

Hello,
note this warning only triggers with f177cd0c15fc ("modpost: Don't let
"driver"s reference .exit.*") that currently waits in next for the next
merge window + building with W=1.
Best regards
Uwe
