from include/linux/init.h:
* For initialized data:
* You should insert __initdata between the variable name and equal
* sign followed by value, e.g.:
*
* static int init_variable __initdata = 0;
* static char linux_logo[] __initdata = { 0x32, 0x36, ... };
*
* Don't forget to initialize data not at file scope, i.e. within a function,
* as gcc otherwise puts the data into the bss section and not into the init
* section.
*
* Also note, that this data cannot be "const".
you mean, like this in drivers/hwmon/w83627ehf.c:
/* w83627ehf_find() looks for a '627 in the Super-I/O config space */
static int __init w83627ehf_find(int sioaddr, unsigned short *addr,
struct w83627ehf_sio_data *sio_data)
{
static const char __initdata sio_name_W83627EHF[] = "W83627EHF";
static const char __initdata sio_name_W83627EHG[] = "W83627EHG";
static const char __initdata sio_name_W83627DHG[] = "W83627DHG";
...
or am i misreading that?
