This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
base: arch_topology: fix section mismatch build warnings
to my driver-core git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core.git
in the driver-core-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: base: arch_topology: fix section mismatch build warnings
Commit 2ef7a2953c81 ("arm, arm64: factorize common cpu capacity default code")
introduced init_cpu_capacity_callback and init_cpu_capacity_notifier
which are referenced from initcall and are missing __init{,data}
annotations resulting the below section mismatch build warnings.
"WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0xbab790): Section mismatch in reference from
the function init_cpu_capacity_callback() to the variable .init.text:$x
The function init_cpu_capacity_callback() references the variable
__init $x. This is often because init_cpu_capacity_callback lacks a
__init annotation or the annotation of $x is wrong."
This patch fixes the above build warnings by adding the required annotations.
