This warning still appears, though:

WARNING: arch/powerpc/sysdev/built-in.o(.text+0xf6b8): Section mismatch in
reference from the function .ics_rtas_init() to the function
.init.text:.xics_register_ics()
The function .ics_rtas_init() references
the function __init .xics_register_ics().
This is often because .ics_rtas_init lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of .xics_register_ics is wrong.

To fix this warning, you'll also need:

diff --git a/arch/powerpc/sysdev/xics/ics-rtas.c b/arch/powerpc/sysdev/xics/ics-
index c782f85..a125721 100644

-int ics_rtas_init(void)
+int __init ics_rtas_init(void)
 {
        ibm_get_xive = rtas_token("ibm,get-xive");
        ibm_set_xive = rtas_token("ibm,set-xive");


However, now we get another similar warning:

WARNING: drivers/built-in.o(.text+0x259c484): Section mismatch in reference from
the function .tc3589x_keypad_open() to the function
.devinit.text:.tc3589x_keypad_init_key_hardware()
The function .tc3589x_keypad_open() references
the function __devinit .tc3589x_keypad_init_key_hardware().
This is often because .tc3589x_keypad_open lacks a __devinit
annotation or the annotation of .tc3589x_keypad_init_key_hardware is wrong.

I'm not sure what to do at this point, because I have a suspicion that adding
__devinit to tc3589x_keypad_open() is wrong.
