pmu_init() is really an init function only called by another init
function (adb_init()).

So I think it could be good to let the __init marker.

Did you try:

--- a/drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c
+++ b/drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c
@@ -198,7 +198,7 @@ static const struct file_operations
pmu_battery_proc_fops;
 static const struct file_operations pmu_options_proc_fops;

 #ifdef CONFIG_ADB
-struct adb_driver via_pmu_driver = {
+const struct adb_driver via_pmu_driver = {
        "PMU",
        pmu_probe,
        pmu_init,
