Subject: [PATCH] gx1fb: Fix section mismatch derived from gx1fb_driver variable
Date: Sunday, January 2, 2011 - 6:31 pm

From my build.log:

WARNING: drivers/video/geode/gx1fb.o(.data+0x54): Section mismatch in reference from the variable gx1fb_driver to the function .init.text:gx1fb_probe()
The variable gx1fb_driver references
the function __init gx1fb_probe()
If the reference is valid then annotate the
variable with __init* or __refdata (see linux/init.h) or name the variable:
*_template, *_timer, *_sht, *_ops, *_probe, *_probe_one, *_console,

This patch fixes the warning.

Tested with linux-next (next-20101231)
