Subject: clocksource/drivers/ixp4xx: remove __init from ixp4xx_timer_setup()
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
ixp4xx_timer_setup is exported, and so can not be an __init function.
Remove the __init marking as the build system is rightfully claiming
this is an error in older kernels.
This is fixed "properly" in commit 41929c9f628b
("clocksource/drivers/ixp4xx: Drop boardfile probe path") but that can
not be backported to older kernels as the reworking of the IXP4xx
codebase is not suitable for stable releases.
