From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ixp4xx_timer_setup is exported, and so can not be an __init function. But it does not need to be exported as it is only called from one in-kernel function, so just remove the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() marking to resolve the build warning. 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.
