'sdio_func_id()' is a macro defined here:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/plain/include/linux/mmc/sdio_func.h?id=refs/tags/v4.11-rc2
#define sdio_func_id(f) (dev_name(&(f)->dev))

The 'func' parameter passed into 'sdio_func_id()' is a pointer to
'struct device dev', which is a member of 'struct sdio_func' defined
here:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/plain/include/linux/mmc/sdio_func.h?id=refs/tags/v4.11-rc2

Based on my understanding of the error message you got, the error must
lie in code that initialises 'func' to a field name of a struct that
isn't known at compile time.

At this stage, I'm not sure how to identify the code where the faulty
initialisation takes place.
