Also the drivers remove routine should be moved from .text to .devexit.text It removes these 7 section mismatch warnings from modpost: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.devinit.text+0x1e28): Section mismatch in reference from the function sgivwfb_probe() to the variable .init.data:sgivwfb_fix The function __devinit sgivwfb_probe() references a variable __initdata sgivwfb_fix.
