Driver probe functions are generally __devinit so they will be discarded after initialization for non-hotplug kernels. This was found by a new warning after patch 6a228452d "stmmac: Add device-tree support" adds a new __devinit function that is called from stmmac_pltfr_probe.
Without this patch, building socfpga_defconfig results in: WARNING: drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/stmmac.o(.text+0x5d4c): Section mismatch in reference from the function stmmac_pltfr_probe() to the function .devinit.text:stmmac_probe_config_dt() The function stmmac_pltfr_probe() references the function __devinit stmmac_probe_config_dt(). This is often because stmmac_pltfr_probe lacks a __devinit annotation or the annotation of stmmac_probe_config_dt is wrong.
