The patch titled
net: move am79c961's probe function to .devinit.text
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
net-move-am79c961s-probe-function-to-devinittext.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/

Subject: net: move am79c961's probe function to .devinit.text
From: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
A pointer to am79c961_probe is passed to the core via
platform_driver_register and so the function must not disappear when the
.init sections are discarded. Otherwise (if also having HOTPLUG=y)
unbinding and binding a device to the driver via sysfs will result in an
oops as does a device being registered late.
An alternative to this patch is using platform_driver_probe instead of
platform_driver_register plus removing the pointer to the probe function
from the struct platform_driver.
