Geert Uytterhoeven Nov. 5, 2024, 6:36 p.m. UTC
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 warnings

    WARNING: modpost: drivers/scsi/sun3_scsi: section mismatch in reference: sun3_scsi_driver+0x4 (section: .data) -> sun3_scsi_remove (section: .exit.text)
    WARNING: modpost: drivers/scsi/sun3_scsi_vme: section mismatch in reference: sun3_scsi_driver+0x4 (section: .data) -> sun3_scsi_remove (section: .exit.text)

that trigger on a Sun 3 allmodconfig build.

Seems I missed that one before posting 7308bf8a2c3d ("modpost: Enable
section warning from *driver to .exit.text"). My excuse is that this
driver isn't enabled for an ARCH=m68k allmodconfig build.

Thanks
Uwe

Understandable, as there are basically 5 classes of m68k kernels:
  - Classic with MMU,
  - Coldfire with MMU,
  - Sun-3,
  - Classic without MMU,
  - Coldire without MMU.

As the last two consist of multiple single-platform kernels, they're
harder to do allmodconfig for.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
