If hga_card_detect is only used by hgafb_probe then annotate hga_card_detect with a matching annotation. WARNING: drivers/video/hgafb.o(.devinit.text+0xfe): Section mismatch in referenc e from the function hgafb_probe() to the variable .init.data:hga_fix The function __devinit hgafb_probe() references a variable __initdata hga_fix. If hga_fix is only used by hgafb_probe then annotate hga_fix with a matching annotation. WARNING: drivers/video/hgafb.o(.devinit.text+0x105): Section mismatch in reference from the function hgafb_probe() to the variable .init.data:hga_default_var The function __devinit hgafb_probe() references a variable __initdata hga_default_var. If hga_default_var is only used by hgafb_probe then annotate hga_default_var with a matching annotation.
