The patch spi: sprd: don't mark remove function as __exit has been applied to the spi tree at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/spi.git All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted. You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed. If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing patches will not be replaced. Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying to this mail.

This was pointed out by kbuild: `sprd_spi_remove' referenced in section `.data' of drivers/spi/spi-sprd.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of drivers/spi/spi-sprd.o Fixes: e7d973a31c24 ("spi: sprd: Add SPI driver for Spreadtrum SC9860") Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Baolin Wang <baolin.wang@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <broonie@xxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/spi/spi-sprd.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/spi/spi-sprd.c b/drivers/spi/spi-sprd.c index a9a6c5ed443f..8daa24eec624 100644 --- a/drivers/spi/spi-sprd.c +++ b/drivers/spi/spi-sprd.c @@ -676,7 +676,7 @@ static int sprd_spi_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) return ret; } -static int __exit sprd_spi_remove(struct platform_device *pdev) +static int sprd_spi_remove(struct platform_device *pdev) { struct spi_controller *sctlr = platform_get_drvdata(pdev); struct sprd_spi *ss = spi_controller_get_devdata(sctlr); -- 2.19.0
