Subject: cpufreq: fix section mismatch warnings
From: Sam Ravnborg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Fix the following warnings:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0xfe6711): Section mismatch in reference from the
function cpufreq_unregister_driver() to the variable
.cpuinit.data:cpufreq_cpu_notifier
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0xfe68af): Section mismatch in reference from the
function cpufreq_register_driver() to the variable
.cpuinit.data:cpufreq_cpu_notifier
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.exit.text+0xc4fa): Section mismatch in reference from the
function cpufreq_stats_exit() to the variable
.cpuinit.data:cpufreq_stat_cpu_notifier
The warnings were casued by references to unregister_hotcpu_notifier() from
normal functions or exit functions. This is flagged by modpost as a potential
error because it does not know that for the non HOTPLUG_CPU scenario the
unregister_hotcpu_notifier() is a nop. Silence the warning by replacing the
__initdata annotation with a __refdata annotation.
