Today, I pulled from linus tree, and compile with MANY section
mismatches errors, eg, some of which are like the following:

WARNING: sound/pci/rme9652/snd-hdsp.o(.text+0x1c9f): Section mismatch
in reference from the function hdsp_check_for_firmware() to the
function .devinit.text:hdsp_request_fw_loader()
WARNING: sound/pci/rme9652/snd-hdsp.o(.text+0x35bf): Section mismatch
in reference from the function snd_hdsp_proc_read() to the function
.devinit.text:hdsp_request_fw_loader()

I have attempted the fixes as shown in the attachment - I may be doing
a disservice to the many hours of hardwork put in by everyone - I
apologized for that :-(.   Please comment - I am just correcting it
syntactically to overcome all the section mismatches errors I am
encountering.   But logic-wise it may be wrong.

Thanks.
