Ok. Do you know what happens to static datas declared within an __init
function ? Is it removed to ? I have a function that use a static array
for putting permanent "override" values for part of the device tree and
this array must not be removed. Should I put the static array out of the
function too or will this remove mecanism avoid bss sections ?
