After building the kernel with Clang, the following section mismatch warning appears: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x3bf19a6): Section mismatch in reference from the function ssc_probe() to the function .init.text:atmel_ssc_get_driver_data() The function ssc_probe() references the function __init atmel_ssc_get_driver_data(). This is often because ssc_probe lacks a __init annotation or the annotation of atmel_ssc_get_driver_data is wrong. Remove __init from atmel_ssc_get_driver_data to get rid of the mismatch.
