6.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 3991b04d4870fd334b77b859a8642ca7fb592603 ]
As described in the added code comment, a reference to .exit.text is ok for
drivers registered via module_platform_driver_probe(). Make this explicit to
prevent the following section mismatch warning:
WARNING: modpost: drivers/virt/coco/sev-guest/sev-guest: section mismatch in reference: \
sev_guest_driver+0x10 (section: .data) -> sev_guest_remove (section: .exit.text)
that triggers on an allmodconfig W=1 build.
