This way we don't need to evaluate the array on the stack at runtime, and the data gets discarded after initcalls have run. Can you please review and test the below? I had a go but wasn't able to fumble my way to a suitable config (I hope): <stdin>:1176:2: warning: #warning syscall fadvise64_64 not implemented arch/mips/tx4927/toshiba_rbtx4927/toshiba_rbtx4927_setup.c: In function `toshiba_rbtx4927_time_init': arch/mips/tx4927/toshiba_rbtx4927/toshiba_rbtx4927_setup.c:1026: error: `tx4927_cpu_clock' undeclared (first use in this function) arch/mips/tx4927/toshiba_rbtx4927/toshiba_rbtx4927_setup.c:1026: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once arch/mips/tx4927/toshiba_rbtx4927/toshiba_rbtx4927_setup.c:1026: error: for each function it appears in.) make[1]: *** [arch/mips/tx4927/toshiba_rbtx4927/toshiba_rbtx4927_setup.o] Error 1 make: *** [arch/mips/tx4927/toshiba_rbtx4927/toshiba_rbtx4927_setup.o] Error 2 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... arch/mips/tx4938/toshiba_rbtx4938/setup.c:41: warning: 'tx4938_report_pcic_status1' declared `static' but never defined arch/mips/tx4938/toshiba_rbtx4938/setup.c:56: warning: 'tx4938_pcic_trdyto' defined but not used arch/mips/tx4938/toshiba_rbtx4938/setup.c:57: warning: 'tx4938_pcic_retryto' defined but not used From: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Atsushi Nemoto <anemo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Jeff Garzik <jeff@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Ralf Baechle <ralf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- arch/mips/tx4927/toshiba_rbtx4927/toshiba_rbtx4927_setup.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff -puN arch/mips/tx4927/toshiba_rbtx4927/toshiba_rbtx4927_setup.c~ne-mips-use-platform_driver-for-ne-on-rbtx49xx-fix arch/mips/tx4927/toshiba_rbtx4927/toshiba_rbtx4927_setup.c --- a/arch/mips/tx4927/toshiba_rbtx4927/toshiba_rbtx4927_setup.c~ne-mips-use-platform_driver-for-ne-on-rbtx49xx-fix +++ a/arch/mips/tx4927/toshiba_rbtx4927/toshiba_rbtx4927_setup.c @@ -1039,7 +1039,7 @@ void __init toshiba_rbtx4927_timer_setup static int __init toshiba_rbtx4927_rtc_init(void) { - struct resource res = { + static struct resource __initdata res = { .start = 0x1c010000, .end = 0x1c010000 + 0x800 - 1, .flags = IORESOURCE_MEM, @@ -1052,7 +1052,7 @@ device_initcall(toshiba_rbtx4927_rtc_ini static int __init rbtx4927_ne_init(void) { - struct resource res[] = { + static struct resource __initdata res[] = { { .start = RBTX4927_RTL_8019_BASE, .end = RBTX4927_RTL_8019_BASE + 0x20 - 1, _
