H A D | sa1100-flash.c | diff f0b1e5892478d5bd683ff01bd95dc7bfc87f8e42 Sat Mar 28 00:27:03 CET 2009 Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de> [MTD] [MAPS] move sa1100 flash's probe function to .devinit.text
A pointer to sa1100_mtd_probe is passed to the core via platform_driver_register and so the function must not disappear when the .init sections are discarded. Otherwise (if also having HOTPLUG=y) unbinding and binding a device to the driver via sysfs will result in an oops as does a device being registered late.
An alternative to this patch is using platform_driver_probe instead of platform_driver_register plus removing the pointer to the probe function from the struct platform_driver.
