This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
misc: atmel-ssc: Fix section annotation on atmel_ssc_get_driver_data
to my char-misc git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git
in the char-misc-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: misc: atmel-ssc: Fix section annotation on atmel_ssc_get_driver_data
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.
