You're right!
The problem is not the missing init_completion() call.
That part of the kernel warning indicates the real problem:
INFO: trying to register non-static key.
Lockdep uses static_obj() to check if the given lock is in "static" memory,
aka inside a valid memory region: from &_stext to &_end.
The "setup_done" completer is used at bootup only, and thus located in
the __initdata section. And on parisc the __initdata section is outside of
the &_stext to &_end range, so the static_obj() check fails.
The patch below fixes it.
I'll send a proper patch to the mailing list in a moment.
Thanks!
Helge
