We get a section mismatch warning from the above because __vexpress_spc_check_loaded is marked __init. Now, we know the code is safe because we replace the reference in the early_initcall below, before the init section is discarded (which is the whole point of the construct) so we can add __refdata to the declaration of spc_check_loaded to silence the warning. Other than that I've not noticed any issues when testing the patches. > + > +static bool __init __vexpress_spc_check_loaded(void) > +{ > + if (vexpress_spc_load_result == -EAGAIN) > + vexpress_spc_load_result = vexpress_spc_init(); > + spc_check_loaded = &vexpress_spc_initialized; > + return vexpress_spc_initialized(); > +} > + > +/* > + * Function exported to manage early_initcall ordering. > + * SPC code is needed very early in the boot process > + * to bring CPUs out of reset and initialize power > + * management back-end.
