Subject: C6x: time: Ensure consistency in __init
From: Nishanth Menon <nm@xxxxxx>
commit f4831605f2dacd12730fe73961c77253cc2ea425 upstream.
time_init invokes timer64_init (which is __init annotation)
since all of these are invoked at init time, lets maintain
consistency by ensuring time_init is marked appropriately
as well.
This fixes the following warning with CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x3bfc): Section mismatch in reference from the function time_init() to the function .init.text:timer64_init()
The function time_init() references
the function __init timer64_init().
This is often because time_init lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of timer64_init is wrong.
